Documentation/kbuild/modules.txt

+For now this is a raw copy from the old Documentation/modules.txt,
+which was removed in 2.6.0-test5.
+The information herein is correct but not complete.
+
+Installing modules in a non-standard location
+---------------------------------------------
+When the modules needs to be installed under another directory
+the INSTALL_MOD_PATH can be used to prefix "/lib/modules" as seen
+in the following example:
+
+make INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/frodo modules_install
+
+This will install the modules in the directory /frodo/lib/modules.
+/frodo can be a NFS mounted filesystem on another machine, allowing
+out-of-the-box support for installation on remote machines.
+
+
+Compiling modules outside the official kernel
+---------------------------------------------
+Often modules are developed outside the official kernel.
+To keep up with changes in the build system the most portable way
+to compile a module outside the kernel is to use the following command-line:
+
+make -C path/to/kernel/src SUBDIRS=$PWD modules
+
+This requires that a makefile exits made in accordance to
+Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt.

-CONFIGURING the kernel:
+BUILD directory for the kernel:
+
+   When compiling the kernel all output files will per default be
+   stored together with the kernel source code.
+   Using the option "make O=output/dir" allow you to specify an alternate
+   place for the output files (including .config).
+   Example:
+     kernel source code:	/usr/src/linux-2.6.N
+     build directory:		/home/name/build/kernel
+
+   To configure and build the kernel use:
+   cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.N
+   make O=/home/name/build/kernel menuconfig
+   make O=/home/name/build/kernel
+   sudo make O=/home/name/build/kernel install_modules install
 
- - Do a "make config" to configure the basic kernel.  "make config" needs
-   bash to work: it will search for bash in $BASH, /bin/bash and /bin/sh
-   (in that order), so one of those must be correct for it to work. 
+   Please note: If the 'O=output/dir' option is used then it must be
+   used for all invocations of make.
+
+CONFIGURING the kernel:
 
    Do not skip this step even if you are only upgrading one minor
    version.  New configuration options are added in each release, and
