Dear Maintainer,

here is a fix for the style of '[' and ']' in the manual.]

####

The difference between the formatted outputs can be seen with:

  nroff -man <file1> > <out1>
  nroff -man <file2> > <out2>
  diff -u <out1> <out2>

and for groff using

"groff -man -Z" instead of "nroff -man"

#####

Input file is installkernel.8

"[" and "]", showing optional arguments to options, should be typeset in roman.

5:.BI "installkernel " "version zImage System.map [directory]"
