7
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.
