[ale] Location of vmlinuz

[dboyd at berry.edu (Daniel Boyd)]

Just back from vacation...  don't know if anyone answered this 
question.

To get the kernel recompile procedure to drop the new kernel into 
/boot modify the toplevel Makefile (/usr/src/linux/Makefile).  About 
15 lines down from the top there is a commented line that you must 
uncomment to get make to drop the kernel image into /boot.  It is 
documented in the Makefile just above the line.  I think that this 
default of using /vmlinuz instead of /boot/vmlinuz has something to 
do with historical file system structure and RedHat's "pristine 
source code" standard.
