-<para><userinput>make include/linux/version.h</userinput> and
-<userinput>make symlinks</userinput>: This creates the
-<filename>include/linux/version.h</filename> file and the <filename
-class="symlink">include/asm</filename> symlink.</para>
+<para><userinput>make mrproper:</userinput> This will ensure that the kernel
+tree is absolutely clean.  We do this because the kernel team recommend
+that this is done prior to <emphasis>each</emphasis> kernel compilation,
+and that we shouldn't rely on the source tree being automatically clean
+after untarring.</para>
+
+<para><userinput>yes "" | make config:</userinput> This runs make config and
+answers with the default answer to every question the config script asks 
+the user (it does this by simply doing the equivalent of hitting the
+Enter key, thus accepting the default Y and N answers to the questions). 
+We're not configuring the real kernel here, we just need to have some sort 
+of configure file created so that we can run make dep next that will 
+create a few header files in <filename>include/linux</filename>, like
+version.h, among others, that we will need to compile Glibc and other
+packages later in chroot.</para>
+
+<para><userinput>make dep:</userinput> make dep checks dependencies and sets
+up the dependencies file. We don't really care about the dependency
+checks, but what we do care about is that make dep creates those
+aforementioned files in <filename>include/linux</filename> we will be
+needing later on.</para>
 
 <para><userinput>mkdir $LFS/usr/include/asm</userinput>
