Well, I'm no expert, but all of the above is sort'a what I use too.
I use a different editor and change two items. The extraversion; I
usually change -xxmdk to -xxtom. The next thing is to uncomment the line
#export INSTALL_PATH=/boot so that the 'make install' step will put
the new kernel in /boot. I believe you also forgot 'make bzImage' ;)
The methods I use are all outlined at
http://www.mandrakeuser.org/docs/install/kupgrade3.html
'make mrproper' is also in the MUO instructions. On the cooker list
the developers are sayin to run mrproper on all, even virgin, 2.4.x
kernel source.
