Documentation/Changes: remove some really obsolete text

2011-07-11T23:48:38Z

That file harkens back to the days of the big 2.4 -> 2.6 version jump, and was based even then on older versions. Some of it is just obsolete, and Jesper Juhl points out that it talks about kernel versions 2.6 and should be updated to 3.0. Remove some obsolete text, and re-phrase some other to not be 2.6-specific. Reported-by: Jesper Juhl Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Documentation/Changes: minor corrections

2011-03-23T00:44:17Z

I noticed the 'mcelog' program had no comment and then ended up "fixing" a few more things: * reiserfsck -V does not print "reiserfsprogs" (any more?) * is "udevinfo" still shipped? udevd certainly is * grub2 doesn't have a 'grub' binary * add a "# how to get the mcelog version" comment Signed-off-by: Christian Kujau Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Documentation update broken web addresses

2010-07-11T19:55:42Z

I've found some web addresses not responding, giving the cannot connect error when trying to load them. The below patch updates the addresses that are not connecting with the best that I can find, and also fixes a couple of addresses, so people can either choose an older version of the package and/or a newer version(i.e. ppp).

Documentation/Changes: perl is needed to build the kernel
