Before unpacking the tarball, do something like this:

  $ su -c 'chown rshepard.user /usr/local/src'

Or just compile it in your home directory tree.  There is nothing
magical about /usr/local/src or /usr/src.

Hmm.  Try this one:

  <http://www.aracnet.com/~seniorr/installkernel>

It is swiped from the debianutils, but isn't really debian specific in
any noticable way.  I have commented out the final "mkboot -i", which
if you are using grub is pretty much a no-op.  I think you can put it
in either /root/bin or /sbin.  If your distribution acquires its own
installkernel in the future, it'll be put in /sbin.  However one in
/root/bin will pre-empt one in /sbin.  Just something to be aware of.
