-<title>Installation of the kernel headers</title>

-<para>As some packages need to refer to the kernel header files, we're going
-to unpack the kernel archive now, set it up, and copy the required files to a
-place where <userinput>gcc</userinput> can later find them.</para>

-<para>This ensures that the kernel tree is absolutely clean. The kernel team
-recommends that this command be issued prior to <emphasis>each</emphasis> kernel
-compilation. You shouldn't rely on the source tree being clean after
-untarring.</para>

-<para>There are a few kernel header files which make use of the
-<filename>autoconf.h</filename> header file. Since we do not yet configure the
-kernel, we need to create this file ourselves in order to avoid compilation
-failures. Create an empty <filename>autoconf.h</filename> file:</para>
