sets the kernel flavours to be installed (space separated). Note that in case you specify more than one the first will be configured the default kernel that gets booted. Optionally you can use an architecture qualifier, e.g. amd64:amd64. Given an i386 system you can enable amd64 foreign architecture thanks to the commands: "dpkg \-\-add\-architecture amd64 ; apt\-get update". This enables you to use "686 amd64:amd64" as a linux flavour. The amd64 kernel will be installed alongside the i386's 686 kernel.

-sets the internal name of the kernel packages naming scheme. If you use debian kernel packages, you will not have to adjust it. If you decide to use custom kernel packages that do not follow the debian naming scheme, remember to set this option to the stub of the packages only (for debian this is linux\-image\-2.6), so that \fISTUB\fR-\fIFLAVOUR\fR results in a valid package name (for debian e.g. linux\-image\-686\-pae). Preferably you use the meta package name, if any, for the stub, so that your configuration is ABI independent. Also don't forget that you have to include stubs of the binary modules packages for unionfs or aufs, and squashfs if you built them out-of-tree.
+defines a space separated list of partial kernel package names. For each name given and for each flavour in LB_LINUX_FLAVOURS_WITH_ARCH, '\-FLAVOUR' will be appended to the name to get the names of kernel packages to be included. By default this is 'linux\-image'. Sor for instance if this is set to "linux\-image linux\-headers" and LB_LINUX_FLAVOURS_WITH_ARCH is "i386 amd64:amd64" then you will get the four packages "linux\-image\-i386", "linux\-image\-amd64:amd64", "linux\-headers\-i386" and "linux\-headers\-amd64:amd64". You can specify "none" to disable the kernel installation step.
