Unpack the source,
cd linux
make menuconfig or make xconfig
make dep && make clean && make boot && make modules && make modules_install
After that you have a kernel under arch/alpha/boot/vmlinux.gz. Copy
that to /vmlinux-version.gz or something else and change your boot
setup to use that kernel. Be carefull not to delete the old kernel,
since the new one might not work.

binay-i386/m68k/alpha/source slink/potato including non-US are 6.2 GB
of data growing daily. Unless you have >10 GB of space and a good
network connection forget about becomming a official mirror. The
traffic is about 100 MB a day just to keep your mirror in sync. (rough
estimate)
May the Source be with you.
