You can download, the vanilla kernel from kernel.org.
That's the kernel source. Uncompress and unpack it (with bunzip and tar) in whatever directory that you want.

Then, move to the top-level directory and type make xconfig or make gconfig or other equivalent command. This launches a window to customize your kernel. Then you need to save changes and compile and install the new kernel.

For a more complete explanation, please Google it
