# This script "kernel_push.sh" rsync the kernel binaries+modules to a

# on the remote target, which updates grub.conf appropriately (debian targets
# uses depmod+mkinitramfs+update-grub2).
#
# It depends on kernel binaries have been installed, by the script
# "kernel_install.sh", which installs/copies the binaries into a
# directory (~/git/kernel/install)
