After burning image to your sdcard, there are at least two partitions:
1. boot - vfat boot partition (is visible from Windows), you should copy there valid uImage and script.bin files
2. system - linux system partition, under Linux you have to mount this partition and then remove /lib/modules and copy the new one from scriptbin_kernel.tar.gz

You have to copy this wich root privileges, you can do this in graphic mode loggin as root (pass: orangepi)
copy "/lib" (scriptbin_kernel) to "/" of your linux (the second partition. NOT fat partition where are uImage...)
there are another folder "/lib" so you have to replace an overwrite them

You can copy this folder using command, select right path. I copy "/lib" to a USB later copy to OPI board
cp -r /media/orangepi/"YourUSB/lib /lib

*Anyway you need be root*

For now only the minimal image (without Desktop GUI).

So I'm still a bit confused about something:  Running OrangePI-PC_Ubuntu_Vivid_Mate, if I download the scriptbin_kernel.tar.gz file, unzip it, and go to lib/modules/3.4.39, both 'build' and 'source' (symbolic links) still point to '/home/LoBo2_Razno/OrangePI/kernel_3.4.9/linux-3.4'.  Obviously I don't have access to Loboris' home folder, and the same directories on my Orange Pi point to there as well.  So how am I supposed to get any use from things that require those directories to function if I can't access the proper files for them.  Why are these directories symbolic links instead of actual local directories?  What am I missing?  

Also, I'm a relative newb to all this, so while I know where the github source tree is, I don't have the first clue as to what to download.  I can't find anything that suggests it would be a proper replacement for /lib/modules/3.4.39/*.  

Thanks in advance!

Wow, Loboris, you are an OS-adaption-machine.
Thank you very much for your work!

the build/source folder in modules is basically (a link to) the kernel source tree.
so if you want a local copy of the tree on your OPI, you could do the following:

cd /opt
git clone https://github.com/loboris/OrangePI-Kernel.git
ln -s /opt/OrangePI-Kernel/linux-3.4/ /lib/modules/3.4.39/build

Okay, makes sense.  Thanks lymon!
