<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>

|

|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<B>installkernel</B>
|
|
|
|
installs a new kernel image onto the system from the Linux source
|
|
tree. It is called by the Linux kernel makefiles when
|
|
<B>make install</B>
|
|
|
|
is invoked there.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
The new kernel is installed into
|
|
<I>{directory}/vmlinuz-{version}</I>.
|
|
|
|
If a symbolic link
|
|
<I>{directory}/vmlinuz</I>
|
|
|
|
already exists, it is refreshed by making a link from
|
|
<I>{directory}/vmlinuz</I>
|
|
|
|
to the new kernel, and the previously installed kernel is available as
|
|
<I>{directory}/vmlinuz.old</I>.
|
|
|
|
<A NAME="lbAE"> </A>
|
|
<H2>BUGS</H2>
|
|
|
|
installkernel resides in /sbin only because the Linux kernel makefiles
|
|
call it from there. It should really be in /usr/sbin. It isn't
|
|
needed to boot a system.

|
