make clean should be here, as well. The whole correct sequence is:

% su - 
Password:
# cd /usr/src/linux
# make mrproper
# make menuconfig (or xconfig)
# make dep clean 
# make -j 4 bzImage 
# make modules modules_install
# cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-<kernelversion>
# cp System.map /boot/System.map-<kernelversion>
Then, if you're using lilo...
# vi /etc/lilo.conf
Add an entry for the kernel you've just copied into /boot
# /sbin/lilo -v

By the way, Wayne: next time you need help and are frustrated, you
should really calm yourself before sending a post to a mailing list such
as this. I can empathise with your plight, but your lack of tact could
end up offending certain people and causing them to ignore you (or
worse, give you bad information). I suggest having someone proof-read
your posts before you send them when next you are in such a mood.
