Description Ross Lippert 2002-08-02 21:10:01 UTC
	There are some grammar and phrasing problems.

	But more importantly, this chapter does not have a very good
	separation of the different issues between a simple kernel
	build and a complicated one, so users who just want to add an
	option end up learning more about make world than they'd want.

	At least, rdm@cfcl.com had trouble with it.

Fix: Proposed patch:
How-To-Repeat: 	Read it.  Notice how you get told all sorts of stuff to worry
	about followed by a sentence telling you it doesn't apply if
	you aren't updating/making world.

No feedback has been received in quite some time.  Mark this as suspended, 
since it does not seem like it is being worked on.
