"dpkg -i" is fine - this will just uncompress the kernel source into its correct location - /usr/src/linux-2.4.26.
Before you do anything else, it's important to link this directory to /usr/src/linux, as such -
ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.4.26 /usr/src/linux

Then apply your ACPI patch.  There should be a README file with this patch to explain how.

Now the all-important configuration should be based on the existing one - don't change any settings unless the ACPI patch specifies it.

I hadn't seen this mentioned anywhere in this thread..

For compatibility's sake, with ALL hardware out there...

Your defaults for DSL at boottime may include..

noacpi or noapm

Check your boottime options, and if you see these,
remove them to re-enable these features..

If you discover lockups, or compatibility issues, simply disable them,
by adding back in the noapm or noacpi boottime options..

Yes, a sensible word of caution to not undertake a kernel rebuild unnecessarily.

I would add another word of caution: even though I located that ACPI patch, I have no idea what it does.  Are you reasonably sure that this patch will achieve what you want?

Yes, I did a search for Latitude CPi and ACPI, and found a linux user who had to use the latest patched 2.4.26 kernel, with a link to the patch. I believe that this should work... I hope.... Thanks for your help, I'm going to try to get it to work.

Well, I am still kind of confused because when I went to the /usr/src directory, all that was there was kernel-source-2.4.26.tar.bzip2. I think that this was what the packages gave me. Should I just unzip it and follow the directions you linked to?
