 * Activates (or deactivates) the command before kernel compilation. Like the  command listed above,  removes all object files and dependencies from the kernel's source tree. However, any previous configuration files (in  or ) will also be purged from the kernel's source tree. If it is undesirable that the kernel's  file keeps disappearing, be sure to disable this option!

 * Issues the command, which attempts to collect configuration information for the system's architecture from a generic script in . This is a non-interactive process; no user input is entertained. Also, if   is used in conjunction with , the latter option is negated, resulting in the activation of the   option.

 * Calls the specified arguments (, in this case) after the kernel and the relevant modules have been built, but before building the initrd image. This may be useful when installing external modules in the initrd image by emerging the relevant item(s) with the callback feature, and then redefining a genkernel module group.

 * Activates (or deactivates) the command, which installs the new kernel image, configuration file, initrd image and system map onto the boot partition. Any compiled modules will be installed as well. By default genkernel will attempt mount  if it is on a separate partition before running the install command.

 * Refrains from copying any modules to the genkernel-created initrd image. This option is an exception to the rule about the  prefix; omission of this prefix creates an invalid genkernel option.
