    this sounds very involved initially but hands off after the fact.

DIR_NAME=$(echo $LATEST_KERNEL | sed 's/\.tar\.xz//')
mkdir -p ./$DIR_NAME

wget -O ./$DIR_NAME/$LATEST_KERNEL "$KERNEL_URL" || exit

tar -xf ./$DIR_NAME/$LATEST_KERNEL -C ./$DIR_NAME || exit

EXTRACTED_DIR=$(tar -tf ./$DIR_NAME/$LATEST_KERNEL | head -1 | cut -f1 -d"/")
