Default [Q] Rooting + installing Dark Knight on I9000 with firmware 2.3.6

I would like to root my phone and install a new rom (last version of Dark Knight), but it's my first time and I would like to make sure that it is done right. I have a few questions before I begin, so I don't screw up my phone.

1. What is the best way to root my Samsung Galaxy S (I9000)? Does it mather which firmware version is on the phone? Mine is 2.3.6.

2. After this is done can i install the latest dark knight version on my phone or do I need to do anything else?

3. Do I need to update my kernel as well? I now have XWJW5. I've been reading alot but I can't find the right steps.

I really hope someone can help me with these questions.

2. Ye you can, through CWM

3. XWJW5 is not a kernel it's a modem.
