 == Kernel Configuration
-If you are using buildroot to build a kernel {{{BR2_KERNEL}}}, you can choose where to get the kernel config (the in-kernel arch default, another in-kernel defconfig, or a custom kernel defconfig). Regardless of your initial kernel config choice you can later modify the kernel configuration via {{{make linux-menuconfig}}}. Following that you can use {{{make linux-savedefconfig}}} to create a defconfig file in the Linux build directory and {{{make linux-update-defconfig}}} to save the Linux defconfig to the path specified by {{{BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_CONFIG_FILE}}}.
+If you are using buildroot to build a kernel {{{BR2_KERNEL}}}, you can choose where to get the kernel config (the in-kernel arch default, another in-kernel defconfig, or a custom kernel defconfig). Regardless of your initial kernel config choice you can later modify the kernel configuration via:
+{{{#!bash
+make linux-menuconfig # invoke kernel menuconfig
+make linux-savedefconfig # invoke kernel savedefconfig
+make linux-update-defconfig # copy the kernel defconfig to the path specified by {{{BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_CONFIG_FILE}}}
+}}}
+
+The kernel package name is 'linux' therefore you can use the following if needed:
+{{{#!bash
+make linux-build # execute kernel build
+make linux-rebuild # rebuild kernel
+make linux-clean # clean the kernel
