Correct, but the first time you compile that kernel version, you
should run mrproper so that it will removed the default config, after
that first time, anytime you decide to configure a new kernel, you can
just type make xconfig/menuconfig/config whichever suits your particular
fancy. But the first time you should (recommended) do a make mrproper.
