Hi All,
I extracted this part of Pavel the patch he had submitted for 2.0.3 and appended it to README file. Since Pavel has't noticed it, I am assuming that most people won't notice it either.
Do people think pushing documentation into Documentation/kgdb directory is a better idea?
Another note about kgdb documentation - There is a lot of documentation at kgdb.sourceforge.net. It's more of howto type rather than manpages. Will it be too much as a documentation in kernel sources.
Any ideas on which things to put into Documentation/kgdb and which to have on a website.
