That's right. From /usr/src/linux/Makefile
<<<<<<<<<
#
# INSTALL_PATH specifies where to place the updated kernel and system map
# images. Uncomment if you want to place them anywhere other than root.
#INSTALL_PATH=/boot
>>>>>>>>>
With the # up front, $(INSTALL_PATH) returns no value to those lines I snipped
from bzlilo, resulting in...
cat bzImage > /vmlinuz
cp /usr/src/linux/System.map /
/sbin/lilo
....but changing that one line in /usr/src/linux/Makefile once seems easier than
the rest to me.
