17 Once you have a working kernel, there's very little to do on updates. A
18 script that runs
19
20 cd /usr/src/linux
21 zcate /proc/config.gz >.config
22 make oldconfig
23 make all modules_install install
24 dracut --kver=$(cat include/config/kernel.release) --xz
25 update the bootloader
26
27 mostly does it all, with a few frills thrown in to cover things like
28 rebuilding modules.
