 <?dbhtml filename="hostreqs.html"?>
 
-<para>Due to the experimental nature of the current book, the host must be
-running at <emphasis>least</emphasis> a 2.6.2 kernel compiled with GCC-3.0 or
-higher. There are two main reasons for the high requirement.  Firstly, we make
-use of the Native Posix Threading Library (NPTL) whose testsuite will segfault
-if the host's kernel hasn't been compiled with GCC-3.0 or later.  Secondly, the
-2.6.2 or later version of the kernel is required for the use of Udev. Udev
-creates devices dynamically by reading from the
-<systemitem class="filesystem">sysfs</systemitem> file system. Only very
-recently has support for this file system been implemented in most of the kernel
-drivers, however. We must be sure that all the critical system devices get
-created properly.</para>
-
-<para>In order to check that your host kernel meets the requirements outlined
-above, you can run the following command:</para>
-
-<screen><userinput>cat /proc/version</userinput></screen>
-
-<para>This will produce output similar to:</para>
-
-<blockquote><screen><computeroutput>Linux version 2.6.2 (user@host) (gcc version 3.4.0) #1 Tue Apr 20 21:22:18 GMT 2004</computeroutput></screen></blockquote>
-
-<para>If the results of the above command state that your host kernel wasn't
-compiled using a GCC-3.0 (or later) compiler, you will need to compile one
-yourself, and reboot your host to use the newly compiled kernel. Instructions
-for compiling the kernel and configuring the bootloader (assuming your host uses
-GRUB) are given in <xref linkend="chapter-bootable"/>.</para>
+<para>See testing.</para>
