Well, first of all, methods 2 & three are exactly the same -- the kernel
target just does a buildkernel / installkernel, so I always use 3 myself just
to save typing.
Your can use #1 *only* if you haven't updated your kernel courses since the
release; in other words, if you cvsup, you *must* use 2 or 3. But if you are
building the straight installed kernel source but merely changing options,
then you do indeed have a choice.
Traditionally, one uses (1) to recompile the shipped release kernel and (2)
or (3) otherwise.
But I know of no reason that (3) should fail just because you have the
modified source installed, so probably (3) is your best bet overall.
