I have a question on proper kernel compiling and editing; I wanna make sure I'm 






doing it correctly.

So I modify my linux-X-X-X.tar.zf, save config to .config...
cp .config /boot/config-linux-X-X-X
make
make modules_install

Ok... use the system; I need to add something to the kernel, so I go back to 
the same /sources/linux-X-X-X folder where the kernel lives;
make mrproper
cp /boot/config-linux-X-X-X
make menuconfig

and I edit the kernel again;
make
make modules_install
cp .config /boot/config-linux-X-X-X

-- Is that correct? i'm pulling in the backed up config-linux-X-X-X file to 
../.config and then adding m0re to the kernel... compiling it, and then copy the 






new .config to /boot for a backup...

Does this sound about right?
