Bug#1022061: debian-kernel-handbook: improve kernel build steps for newbies
Package: debian-kernel-handbook
Version: 1.0.20
Severity: normal
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256
In https://bugs.debian.org/1022025#37 I saw another example of someone
who hadn't built a kernel before, found the proper instructions but
didn't succeed in building a (patched) kernel.
All it took to succeed was some light guidance. And I know that when I
was at that stage, I had similar problems.
This bug is intended to collect the experiences/problems/etc that
newbies run into, which in turn allows us/me to improve the
documentation for everyone.
I do intend to submit a MR to improve it, but first we need to collect
the issues newbies run into, which will be done in this bug.
