[grsec] New to grsecurity and updating my kernel

[Boysenberry Payne]

So if I have grsecurity-2.1.9-2.6.17.4-200607120947.patch in the same 
directory
as my unpacked linux-2.6.17.6 directory the following ought to patch 
the source?

patch -p0 < ./grsecurity-2.1.9-2.6.17.4-200607120947.patch

Do I do this before do the following?

make oldconfig
make
make modules_install
install

Does this seem right?

Thanks,
Boysenberry
