simple change in make menuconfig, how to recompile kernel?-without ABS

I've made a simple change using make menuconfig (after downloading vanilla kernel and copying files over to linux-x.x.x.x-arch) to my CPU settings, and I understand I have to recompile the kernel now. Is there a simple way to do this (am I missing something obvious) or do I have to go through all the steps of compiling a custom kernel? Id like to learn the latter but this week am in a rush to get things running. Thanks!

You will have to re-compile. You can do it the Arch way, with ABS & pacman, or the 'classic' way with

make bzImage modules
make modules_install

(not 100% on that one - I don't do 'classic' myself )

am i supposed to just use the new kernel I downloaded, or do I merge it with the existing /usr/src/linux-2.6.19-ARCH/ contents? sorry for newbing.
