Well, since we're getting adventurous, how about 'make -j 5 zImage zlilo
modules modules_install'
The -j is the number of threads or instances of the 'make' program to start
while compiling. As a rule I would do 1 per 10M memory on the machine, but
never more than 15. This can significantly reduce the time it takes to
compile a clean kernel.

May I add to you thoughts, Lenz. It would probably be better to:
"make dep && make clean && make bzlilo && make modules && make
modules_install"
especially for those who might be new to, or nervous about, compiling their
kernel. What it says is: make dep, and if no errors, make clean ....and so
on.
