+the commands by removing <userinput>make mrproper</userinput>,
+<userinput>make config</userinput>, and <userinput>make dep</userinput>.
+Instead we just create the missing <filename>version.h</filename> and
+<filename class="symlink">asm</filename> symlink and copy the headers to
+<filename class="directory">$LFS/usr/include</filename>. We don't need the
+kernel tree itself setup until chapter 8 where we would re-run the removed
+commands anyways, so it's just a waste of time to do it in chapter
+5.</para></listitem>

-Enter key, thus accepting the default Y and N answers to the questions). 
-We're not configuring the real kernel here, we just need to have some sort
