It's what you get when you run make install in the kernel source dir. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
If you install your kernel image manually, then you must remember to do |
| 28 |
it yourself. There is no "recommended location" as such - any old place |
| 29 |
is as good as any other place and the choice is really up to you, so a |
| 30 |
recommendation is pointless. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
But seeing as the kernel's Makefile makes a copy of the .config and |
| 33 |
System.map in /boot, it makes sense to follow that established pattern. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Or you could just use make install |
