Code Listing 36: Compiling the kernel
(For amd64-based systems, 2.6 kernel)
# make bzImage modules modules_install

(For other systems, 2.6 kernel)
# make && make modules_install


these commands really do the same thing and only serve to confuse some users (as i can atest after talking to one such user on #gentoo earlier)

personally i'd opt for the 2nd version
