Building kernel source

[Sertaç Olgunsoylu]

Hi,
In the kernel README file, it is written following commands to build kernel:
make config
make
sudo make modules_install install

Also, there are some other distro specific methods to build kernel
such as make-kpkg. Does it matter which one of them is being used to
build kernel? Should I stick to commands given in the README file or
using distro specific utilities is OK too?
