make menuconfig
make install
clear
echo "Now Installing" #to top of screen
make modules
clear
echo "Now making Modules" #at top of screen
make modules_install
clear
echo "Now Installing Modules" #at top of screen
You could add an
echo -e "\a"
after each clear so that it beeped right then.
A really good idea when you are doing something like this is
to use the utility script (man script) to keep a complete
record of the session to be checked out later.
Could save you a lot of work and frustration if the compile
does not go well.
