From 14a8edb09c0f0866d211ec4f86fd8c005862a770 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Scott Rifenbark Date: Mon, 29 Nov 2010 09:26:22 -0800 Subject: documentation/kernel-manual/kernel-concepts.xml: Updated the text so that the conceptual figure showing the kernel is out. Feedback indicated by Dave suggested getting rid of this. So I commented out the text around it and modified the reminder text so it did not reference a figure.
