grab 2.6.15 from mirror.pacific.net.au or kernel.org if you want

untar into /usr/src/linux-2.6.15

ln /usr/src/linux-2.6.15 to /usr/src/linux-2.6

make menuconfig and add all the options you need

make

make modules_install

cp /usr/src/linux-2.6/arch/i386/boot/­ bzImage /boot/vmlinux-2.6.15

update-grub

you can look at /boot/config (or something like that) to determine what the debian kernel options are, same file as /usr/src/linux-2.6/.config (make menuconfig generates this)
