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. |
