[SWLUG] contents of /boot

[bascule]

examining my mandrake 8.2 /boot i see the following symlimks:
config
kernel.h
System.map

they point to similar name files with the kernel name appended, this prompts 
the question: what do those files do, if i install a new kernel so that i 
have a choice of two what difference -if any- will it make if i do/don't 
alter these symlimks to point to the new kernel equivalents?
