I will just post it to a web server for download.  It will be installed
with "sudo dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.29-rt...deb"  You should also grab
the headers .deb if you plan on installing 3rd party drivers (vmware,
fglrx, nvidia etc.).

Of course installing packages from someone you don't know is not a
really good idea :)
