Documentation/Changes: clean up mcelog paragraph

2014-07-12T18:30:36Z

The paragraph on mcelog currently describes kernel v2.6.31. In that kernel the mce code (for i386, that is) was in transition. Ever since v2.6.32 the situation is much simpler (eg, mcelog is now needed to process events on almost all x86 machines, i386 and x86-64). Since this "document is designed to provide a list of the minimum levels of software necessary to run the 3.0 kernels" let's just describe that situation.

HPA did the world a favour and reduced the number of perl scripts in the universe. However we do now need bc Resolves-bug: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60575 Signed-off-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina

remove obsolete references to powertweak

2013-11-28T04:34:32Z

This tool hasn't been maintained in over a decade, and is pretty much useless these days. Let's pretend it never happened. Also remove a long-dead email address. Signed-off-by: Dave Jones Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Documentation/Changes: remove some really obsolete text

2011-07-11T23:48:38Z

That file harkens back to the days of the big 2.4 -> 2.6 version jump, and was based even then on older versions. Some of it is just obsolete, and Jesper Juhl points out that it talks about kernel versions 2.6 and should be updated to 3.0. Remove some obsolete text, and re-phrase some other to not be 2.6-specific. Reported-by: Jesper Juhl Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Documentation/Changes: minor corrections

2011-03-23T00:44:17Z

I noticed the 'mcelog' program had no comment and then ended up "fixing" a few more things: * reiserfsck -V does not print "reiserfsprogs" (any more?) * is "udevinfo" still shipped? udevd certainly is * grub2 doesn't have a 'grub' binary * add a "# how to get the mcelog version" comment Signed-off-by: Christian Kujau Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Documentation update broken web addresses

2010-07-11T19:55:42Z

I've found some web addresses not responding, giving the cannot connect error when trying to load them. The below patch updates the addresses that are not connecting with the best that I can find, and also fixes a couple of addresses, so people can either choose an older version of the package and/or a newer version(i.e. ppp).

Documentation/Changes: perl is needed to build the kernel

2009-06-18T20:03:46Z

Perl is used on the kernel Makefile to generate documentation, firmwares in c source form, sources, graphs, and some headers and this fact is undocumented.
