Compile A Kernel

Hello,

I am a brand new Linux user. I am installing Ubuntu 6.10 on my PC
using VMware. I am following the instructions on your page
http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_ubuntu.

I did the following:
$sudo rm -f /bin/sh
$sudo ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh
$sudo apt-get update

It worked fine until this point. When I use the command below

$sudo apt-get install kernel-package libncurses5-dev fakeroot wget
bzip2

in the end I get the message E: Could't find package vget.

Did I miss anything? Could someone please help. I despretly need to
install the kernel by today. Thank you. Appreciate any help I can get.

rgds,
Alagu
