Just use it.
bash$ tar -C ~/src -zxvf linux-2.4.14.tar.gz
bash$ cp /boot/config-2.4.9 ~/src/linux/.config
bash$ cd ~/src/linux
bash$ make oldconfig
# Use debian's make-kpkg tool to make the kernel, pipe it through

bash$ sudo make-kpkg --revision="1:custom.1.0" kernel_image 2>&1 | tee
/tmp/make-custom-1.0.out | grcat conf.gcc
bash$ sudo dpkg --install ../kernel-image-2.4.14-custom.1.0_i386.deb
bash$ echo "Ohhh, yeahhhh...that's the shit!"
