The idea that a newbie (or even your average experienced linux user) should need to do that is largely obsolete. Don't do it unless you KNOW that you have to, for some special reason. Just use a stock kernel from your distributor, or the speakup site, if you use speakup. If you really need to do it, then follow the advice of the last poster (below), or from your distribution's manuals (some have convenient front ends for this).
