Well, for example, the filenames for the kernel and initrd in section 4.4 and 
section 5.1 are incorrect: in the distribution I installed yesterday I think 
these files are "linux" and "initrd.img" instead of "vmlinuz" and "initrd.gz". 
So since these filenames can differ it seems to me that there should at least 
be a mention of the possible filenames and how to adapt lilo/grub configuration 
for each particular case.

Another thing I found very unclear is that in 5.1.4. it says "download and 
place the files needed as described in section 4.4". But in paragraph 4.4 it 
does not mention /where/ to download these files. Instead it says that in 
paragraph 5.1.4., /after/ pointing the reader to 4.4. Maybe it is a good idea 
to first point the user to the files to download, and then explain how to put 
these files in /boot?

So that is quite confusing and I'd like to get a chance to rewrite these things 
to be a bit more clear. Can I maybe do a pull request on a git repo somewhere?

Greetings
