The term "uncomment" stems from programming, also used as "commenting" , it is a way of documenting what the code does, if the code seems too obfuscated, if the comments come after the code, and it can also be used to cancel out code, without having to delete the code, meaning when a code is commented, it will have no effect, the compiler ignores it. In the case of Linux/Unix, a comment is denoted with the symbol '#'. (without the '.) So when you uncomment the line:
#export INSTALL_PATH=/boot , you merely remove the # , and then that line of 'code' or command gets executed. In this case, the kernel will be installed to the path /boot.
