Subject: [PATCH 20/20] kbuild: scripts/install.sh: update documentation
Date: Wed,  7 Apr 2021 07:34:19 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210407053419.449796-21-gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210407053419.449796-1-gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

Add a proper SPDX line and document the install.sh file a lot better,
explaining exactly what it does, and update the copyright notice and
provide a better message about the lack of LILO being present or not as
really, no one should be using that anymore...
