installkernel - install a new kernel image

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.

Debian Linux                                       7 Jan 2001                                   INSTALLKERNEL(8)

installkernel  installs  a  new kernel image onto the system from the Linux source tree.  It is called by
       the Linux kernel makefiles when makeinstall is invoked there.

       The new kernel is installed into {directory}/vmlinuz-{version}.  If a symbolic  link  {directory}/vmlinuz
       already  exists,  it  is  refreshed  by making a link from {directory}/vmlinuz to the new kernel, and the
       previously installed kernel is available as {directory}/vmlinuz.old.
