Subject: [PATCH 1/4] alpha: replace dead links in Kconfig help text
Date: Thu, 1 Oct 2026 12:50:15 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261001165018.415526-1-mattst88@gmail.com> (raw)
The Linux/Alpha FAQ, the unix-ag LX164 overview, the Rawhide install
HOWTO and the Ruffian FAQ are all gone. Point the "Alpha system type"
help at the system and motherboard lists on the alphalinux.org wiki
instead, give LX164 a one-line description in place of its link, and
drop the others.
