kernel 2.6.13

[Vaibhav Vaidya]

Hi,

I wanted to install kernel 2.6.13 as recommended on:
http://www.rtr.ca/dell_i9300/

This will be my first ever time compiling/installing a
new kernel. Also, there are the libata etc patches
given on the above mentioned site. How do I apply
them? What procedure to follow while updating the
kernel? Will the Ubuntu team release synaptics
packages for the new kernel? how soon?

I have Hoary on a Dell Inspiron 9300

Any help will be appreciated!!!
Thanks,
--Vaibhav
