Each kernel architecture has a set of specific targets unique to it. The
32-bit Intel architecture has the following targets available.

Description
|
|
bzImage
|
Creates a compressed kernel image and places it in
the arch/i386/boot/bzImage file. This is the
default target for the i386 kernel build.
|
|
install
|
Installs the kernel image using the distribution-specific /sbin/installkernel program. Note that
this does not install the kernel modules; that must be done with the
modules_install target.
|
|
bzdisk
|
Creates a boot floppy image and writes it to the
/dev/fd0 device.
|
|
fdimage
|
Creates a boot floppy image and places it in the
file arch/i386/boot/fdimage. The
mtools package must be present on your system in
order for this to work properly.
|
|
isoimage
|
Creates a CD-ROM boot image and places it in the
file arch/i396/boot/image.iso. The
syslinux package must be present on your system in
order for this to work properly.
