Yes. Some part I have just copied and pasted it from the above site and I
think I have mentioned about it too in the howto.

You are spot on. Yes. That is copy paste, but I thought the above
explaination is the best one. Is there any point in my changes few words
here and there just to say it is my howto. No. That is the reason.
Look at the last link in the howto there I have clearly mentioned about
this and I have even given the above link too. I have just added few things
about kernel compilation and you can say rather than the one page I have
organised it a little bit.
If this has hurt somebody than I apologise.
Bye bye.
