wget https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/ker...x-6.2.9.tar.xz
mv kernel-configs/config-generic-6.1.21.x64 kernel-configs/config-generic-6.2.9.x64
sh kernel-source.SlackBuild
upgradepkg --install-new /tmp/kernel-source-6.2.9.txz
sh kernel-generic.SlackBuild && upgradepkg /tmp/kernel-generic-6.2.9.txz
sh kernel-headers.SlackBuild && upgradepkg /tmp/kernel-headers-6.2.9.txz
sh kernel-modules.SlackBuild && upgradepkg /tmp/kernel-modules-6.2.9.txz
cd /boot
mkinitrd -c -k 6.2.9 -m ext4 -> WHAT HERE?
