installkernel

This script is called during execution of the make install step to write the kernel image and copy the system.map and .config to the /boot directory. The installkernel script provided here works for both 2.4 and 2.6 series kernel builds.

make install looks for this script in two locations:

building a kernel

I would suggest that people who compile new kernels should:

- NOT do so in /usr/src. Leave whatever kernel (probably only the header 
  files) that the distribution came with there, but don't touch it. 

- compile the kernel in their own home directory, as their very own 
  selves. No need to be root to compile the kernel. You need to be root 
  to _install_ the kernel, but that's different.

Taken out for review, but don't hold your breath...
