How to compile kernel?

Hi

I'm new to compiling kernels so I'm hoping someone will be kind enough to
guide me through it I've run the following command to determine where
the current kernel was compiled from.

[root@rhel]$ ls -l /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 Mar 15 04:37 /lib/modules/2.6.9-5.ELsmp/build
-> /usr/src/kernels/2.6.9-5.EL-smp-x86_64

I've then run make menuconfig from the directory given above and made the
desired changes to the configuration.
When saving the configuration I get the following

*** End of Linux kernel configuration.
*** Execute 'make' to build the kernel or try 'make help'.

Is that it? I just want to make absolutely sure before running make :

Yes, you say "make" and then (as root) "make modules_install"
and "make install".
