When moving /home to its own partition, do it this way:

find . -depth -print0|cpio --null --sparse -pvd /newhome/

That way, all files get copied, with ownership, permission, and access dates unmodified.

Add a default route:

route add default gw <gateway ip address> dev <device name>

To make this route persist, add these lines to /etc/sysconfig/network:

GATEWAY=<gateway IP address>
GATEWAYDEV=<device name>

It's a much better idea to make a package that dpkg can deal with, rather than installing the kernel by hand. Once your configuration is done (via make menuconfig or equivalent) here are the commands to make that happen:

export CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=(however many CPUs you have, or +1 if you're compiling **ON** a non-BFS kernel)
make-kpkg clean
fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-custom kernel_image kernel_headers
