+<title>Rationale</title>
 <body>
 
 <p>
-Genkernel is designed to allow users who are not previously used to
-compiling a kernel to use a similar setup to that one that is used on
-the Gentoo Installation CDs which auto-detects your hardware.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Some users may also be interested in using genkernel for hardware
-which requires initialization and a working kernel before it can be
-booted. Because genkernel also automatically compiles your kernel modules,
-thus allowing hardware which needs to be loaded with module parameters
-to be used.
+For users who are not privy to kernel compilation, genkernel is a tool to
+automate this process. It can help you create a kernel image akin to those
+available on Gentoo Installation CDs, which are designed to auto-detect the
+hardware configuration of your system. Some users may also be interested in
+using genkernel for hardware requiring initialization and a working kernel
+before the system starts up. Since genkernel automatically compiles your kernel
+modules, you can use hardware that may require certain module parameters to be
+loaded for proper operation.

-<title>Is genkernel for me?</title>
+<title>Target Audience</title>
 <body>
 
 <p>
-Genkernel is often a good choice to those who are unused to compiling
-their own kernel or those who are not certain about their hardware
-configurations.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Because genkernel is designed to use a generic configuration, it
-should be able to support all of your hardware - however, because all
-the drivers and modules have to be compiled as well, compiling a
-kernel by yourself is often much faster provided you know what you need.
+If you are either uncertain about how to compile a kernel, or are just
+unfamiliar with your hardware configuration, genkernel is a very handy tool.
+It is designed to take the pain out of the kernel compiling process, and
+supports most hardware by default.
 </p>
 
 <p>
-Genkernel does not however, currently support booting the sytem from
-LVM2/EVMS2 partitions. Users are recommended to use a manually compiled
-kernel for the time being.
+However, if you know what drivers are required by your system, you may be able
+to further reduce the time taken to compile the kernel. This is possible since
+you can direct genkernel to only build drivers relevant to your hardware.
+Oftentimes, the number of drivers required by your system will be fewer
+(implying a shorter kernel compilation time) than the default configuration
+provides.

-<title>Getting genkernel</title>
+<title>Installing genkernel</title>
 <body>
 
 <p>
-You can obtain genkernel by simply running <c>emerge genkernel</c>. Don't 
-forget to use the <c>-k</c> flag for emerge if you are using binary packages, 
-i.e. GRP. Due to the GRP packages having an older version of genkernel, the 
-flags are different. As a result, you should consult the <uri 
-link="/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&amp;chap=10">
-Gentoo Handbook</uri> and <path>genkernel --help</path>.
+To obtain genkernel, run <c>emerge genkernel</c> from the command line. If you
+are using the
+<uri link="http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/2005.0/hb-install-about.xml#doc_chap2_sect1">
+Gentoo Reference Platform</uri> (GRP), remember to install binary packages by
+passing the <c>-k</c> flag to emerge. Since the GRP is bundled with an older
+version of genkernel, the flags may be different. In any case, consult
+<c>genkernel --help</c> for help on how to use the version of genkernel
+installed on your system.

-<title>Supported platforms</title>
+<title>How to use genkernel</title>
 <body>
 
 <p>
-As of genkernel 3.0.2, the following platforms should be
-supported: alpha, amd64, parisc, parisc64, ppc, ppc64, sparc, sparc64, and x86.
+Although there are several ways to run genkernel, the least-intrusive approach
+is provided by <c>genkernel all</c>. Here, a generic configuration which works
+well for most systems is used. As was mentioned earlier, this approach is not
+without drawbacks; most of the modules created are useless to the average user
+and may increase compile time. Below is an illustration of a more efficient
+approach, achieved by passing certain flags to genkernel as root:
 </p>

+# genkernel --bootsplash --no-install --no-clean --menuconfig all
+</pre>
 
-<chapter>
-<title>Genkernel usage</title>
-<section>
-<title>Introduction</title>
-<body>
+<p>
+The above operation causes genkernel to create a bootsplash-enabled kernel
+(<c>--bootsplash</c>) that will have to be manually installed
+(<c>--no-install</c>). While preparing the kernel source tree, genkernel will
+refrain from cleaning out any preexisting object files present in the source
+tree (<c>--no-clean</c>). A menu-driven kernel configuration utility will be
+displayed that allows the user to select which modules will be built for the
+system (<c>--menuconfig</c>).
+</p>
 
 <p>
-Genkernel is designed to work in three modes:
+There are other flags which alter the result provided by genkernel. For
+instance, replacing <c>--no install</c> with the <c>--install</c> flag allows
+genkernel to automatically install the new kernel in the <path>/boot</path>
+directory. Using the <c>--mountboot</c> flag allows genkernel to mount your
+<path>/boot</path> partition automatically, if necessary.

-  <li>"kernel" mode: this only builds the kernel image</li>
-  <li>"initrd" mode: this only builds the initrd</li>
-</ul>
+<p>
+Remember, genkernel is designed to make kernel compilation easy and
+stress-free. For this reason, genkernel features several flags to ease the
+kernel compilation effort. For example, there are flags to help with kernel
+configuration, while others affect the actual compilation. Some flags even help
+debug the compilation process. For those interested in further optimization,
+there are flags that affect kernel assembling, packaging and even kernel
