initrd on ubuntu 8.10

Hi,

I am pretty new to kernel compiling and I am having a problem on an
ubuntu 8.10 when trying to compile kernel 2.6.28. After the final `make
install` I have to generate the initrd file. But I don't know how and
the package which contains this command initrd-tools it's not in my repo.
Is it safe to add it from somewhere else?
And if so, how should I use it? (i.e /deb
http://www.backports.org/debian/ woody module-init-tools initrd-tools).
/I already have an entry for this kernel in /boot/grub/menu.lst, but the
initrd is missing and don't know how to generate.

Any advice is more than welcomed.

Thanks,
Radu.
