make menuconfig
make-kpkg clean
make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image  -- kernel is built here.
dpkg -i ../kernel-image-X.XXX_1.0_<arch>.deb  -- kernel is installed.
edit and run lilo

kernel.  Using kpkg cuts out some steps such as having to "make modules."
Given the choice I go with the 'kernel-package.'
