-<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>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>mkdir $LFS/usr/include/asm</userinput>
and <userinput>cp include/asm/* $LFS/usr/include/asm</userinput>:
