__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__.
Modules end with __.ko__. They are individual files for each question you answered __M__ during kernel configuration. The object code is linked against your freshly built kernel as separate modules. Questions answered __Y__ were integrated into the kernel (__vmlinuz__), and for questions answered __N__ they were skipped (not compiled).
* To compile modules.
`make -j<X> modules`
* Copy generated kernel modules to __/lib/modules/<KERNEL_VERSION>/__.
