this should be commented out (usually). I am not sure what effect "n" has (it 
must work as well, but I never tried it).

CONFIG_APM=y
# CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND is not set
CONFIG_APM_DO_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE=y
# CONFIG_APM_DISPLAY_BLANK is not set
# CONFIG_APM_RTC_IS_GMT is not set
# CONFIG_APM_ALLOW_INTS is not set
# CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF is not set

(this is from 2.5 but you got an idea)

wrong.

cp .config .config.old
make mrproper
cp .config.old .config
edit Makefile and set EXTRAVERSION to something different ot just use make 
EXTRAVERSION=xxx ... on command line
make oldconfig
make dep
make
make modules
make modules_install
make install

do not do it in /usr/src, you will screw up module compilation for vanilla mdk 
kernel. Copy sources somwehere in your home. Do not change order.

sure; I hoped "how to compile kernel on mdk" be in FAQ somewhere.

Apparently this time I got it just fine. Anyway, you can keep list informed 
just the same :)
