That one's good....but if you're already running a properly configured
kernel, why not just use "make oldconfig"? This allows you to use your
current config file as a base for your new system. It'll run you through
all the changes in the new kernel (and give you a suggested default).

In terms of other resources, I like this one:
http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/system/kernel-pkg.html

Took me a while to understand everything that was in it (and it is
exclusive to Debian). As it suggests up near the top--read the whole thing
BEFORE you start compiling. There are steps near the end which are
optional and should actually be done at the beginning.
