Compiling a kernel

Just a quick question about compiling a kernel.  I got some brief
instructions, and would just like to make sure I am going about this the
right way...
1.  Place the source in /usr/src/linux-2.4.22g (or whatever kernel I am
working with)
2.  Create a symbolic link to /usr/linux-2.4
3.  Go to /usr/src/linux-2.4 and run "make xconfig"
4.  Choose what I want to build

Now here is where I have the question, what I have for step 5 is "make
vmlinux modules modules_install"  I have this all as a single line.  Is
that correct or should it be "make vmlinux" then "make modules" then "make
modules_install" all as seperate commands?
