You can use your own custom script. After the kernel builds, I execute it
using "sudo." The script I use is simple and not terribly robust, but it
WFM:

--- cut ---
#!/bin/bash

function cpfile()
{
	echo -ne "Installing $1..."
	cp $1 /boot/$2
	echo "done"
}

if [ -z "$1" ]; then
        echo "USAGE: install.sh VERNUM"
        exit
else
        ver=$1
fi

echo -ne "Installing modules..."
make modules_install > /dev/null 2>&1
echo "done"

cpfile arch/i386/boot/bzImage vmlinuz-$ver
cpfile .config config-$ver
cpfile vmlinux vmlinux-$ver
cpfile System.map System.map-$ver

echo -ne "Updating LILO..."
lilo > /dev/null 2>&1
echo "done"
--- cut---
