-!!SYNOPSYS
+DESCRIPTION
+
installkernel installs
a
new
kernel
image onto the system from the
+ Linux source tree. It is called by the Linux kernel makefiles when
+ make install is invoked there.
+ The new kernel is installed into {directory}/vmlinuz-{version}, a link
+ is made from {directory}/vmlinuz to the new kernel, and the previously
+ installed kernel is available as {directory}/vmlinuz.old. If you use
+ LILO, /etc/lilo.conf should contain entries for the images {direc-
+ tory}/vmlinuz and {directory}/vmlinuz.old. ({version} is the new ker-
+ nel's version.)

-__installkernel__ installs a new kernel image onto the
-system from the Linux source tree. It is called by the Linux
-kernel makefiles when __make install__ is invoked
-there.
-
-
-The new kernel is installed into
-''{directory}/vmlinuz-{version}'', a link is made from
-''{directory}/vmlinuz'' to the new kernel, and the
-previously installed kernel is available as
-''{directory}/vmlinuz.old''. If you use LILO,
-''/etc/lilo.conf'' should contain entries for the images
-''{directory}/vmlinuz'' and
-''{directory}/vmlinuz.old''. (''{version}'' is the new
-kernel's version.)

-
-__installkernel__ calls __mkboot -i__ to make the
-system bootable after the kernel is installed.

BUGS
-
-
-
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, and it calls
-__
mkboot__
, which depends on the /usr partition being
-mounted.
