I've never seen "make mrproper".
But I'm sure you're right that the poster's
order is wrong. I would go further and say that
the "make clean" should go first if anything
at all has been done with the kernel source
as downloaded. Hence:

make clean	[if not the first attempt]
make menuconfig
make dep
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
[copy and rename bzImage and System.map to /boot]
modify /etc/lilo.conf
run lilo
reboot

Cheers,
