Hey David, I compiled 2.4.16 on my debian machine a few weeks ago. The documentation that comes with the sources is very good and explains all the steps. Keep in mind that for the 2.4.17 kernel to work you need to upgrade a lot of tools (modutils, bin-utils etc) all this is listed in the install document. The install has menu, X and standard config methods so it should be no problem for you to get the options you need. Some software has problem on 2.4.x kernels! (I had to use ALSA0.9.0B10 and still could not get it to work!)
oh and you should get your sources at kernel.org good luck!
