     Type:  defect    |      Status:  new    
 Priority:  high      |   Milestone:  BTest-1
Component:  distro    |    Keywords:         
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
 Based on this week and Mark's experience we clearly need to document:

 o The platform to develop on (FC6, clearly, since it's the same as the
 software we're using)

 o What git tree to use for development bits

 o How to turn that kernel source checkout into something that you can work
 on

 o Where the connonical source is for a .config file

 o How to rebuild SRPMS

 o How the disaster-that-is-SRPM-kernel-configs works

 o How the initrd stuff works and how it affects your ability to build and
 test kernels

 o How to build or work on an external module using tools on the system

 o Kernel command line options and how those options affect different
 hardware bits
