* __OPTION B2__: Automatically move kernel to __/boot__ (and in certain distros, symlink the new kernel to __/boot/vmlinuz__ and update the bootloader configuration).
`make install`
__NOTE__: The __vmlinuz__ can be any name but that exact name has to be added to the configuration file of your bootloader of choice. Usually a version number is appended to the new kernel image. This has the advantage to avoid replacing a current kernel and having a fallback as backup to boot. You can set to boot from any image in the bootloader once you configure them in the bootloader.
### BUILD MODULES
* Compile individual files for each question you answered M during kernel config. The object code is linked against your freshly built kernel. (For questions answered __Y__, these are already part of __vmlinuz__, and for questions answered __N__ they are skipped). Modules end with __.ko__.

## INITRD
The __initrd__ is used only while booting, unless you compile the kernel with the filesystem it resides on (__initfs__). There are three options.
* __OPTION 1__: Compile the kernel with support for the filesystem used in the __/boot__ partition (__initfs__).
