Bug#337780: debian-installer-manual: please rm section 8.5. "Compiling a New Kernel"



Package: debian-installer-manual
Severity: wishlist

* the chapter is out of date (not referring to the new common package).

* there are lots of other references on the topic:
- the debian-reference has an chapter about howto compile a new kernel for
your debian box 
- the "Debian Linux Kernel Handbook" has lots of info on latest builds
worked on by mh with input by trave11er and dilinger.
-> http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/

* chapter out of topic "8. Next Steps and Where to Go From Here"
  newbies who got there probably want to run some kde or gnome apps ;)

it seems like a bloat for the translator.

if you consider aboves point not valid, feel free to close it away.
i just stumbled upon it today at a friends place who read this manual
and had shoot himself into the foot with a strange kernel .config.
