8 | .SH DESCRIPTION | ||
9 | \fBinstallkernel\fR installs a new kernel image onto the system from | ||
10 | the Linux source tree. It is called by the Linux kernel makefiles when | ||
11 | \fBmake install\fR is invoked there. | ||
12 | |||
13 | The new kernel is installed into {directory}/vmlinuz-{version}. If a | ||
14 | symbolic link {directory}/vmlinuz already exists, it is refreshed by | ||
15 | making a link from {directory}/vmlinuz to the new kernel, and the | ||
16 | previously installed kernel is available as {directory}/vmlinuz.old. | ||
