 From "make help", you can see the following output:
...
   all          - Build all targets marked with [*]
* vmlinux      - Build the bare kernel
* modules      - Build all modules
   modules_install - Install all modules to INSTALL_MOD_PATH (default: /)
...
* bzImage      - Compressed kernel image (arch/x86/boot/bzImage)
...
   install      - Install kernel using
                   (your) ~/bin/installkernel or
                   (distribution) /sbin/installkernel or
                   install to $(INSTALL_PATH) and run lilo
