Ok, added. You can update your tutorial to make the initial setup of a kernel archive slightly less scary, ie it's now git clone rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git linux-2.6 cd linux-2.6 git checkout which looks almost user-friendly. (Of course, since the rsync protocol doesn't know anything about git consistency, if the mirroring is half-way, you'll end up with something less than wonderful, and confusing. Details, details) Linus
