Add &linux-version2; entity to the required parts of the book that need the full kernel version rather than just the &linux-version; entity. I.E. 3.14.8 instead of 3.14

29      <para>There is no actual package called "Linux-Headers" in this book.
30      This step involves "sanitizing" and installing a number of header files
31      from the Linux kernel source so that they can used by other packages.
32      Therefore, for this step you will need to unpack the kernel tarball
33      (<filename>linux-&linux-version;.tar.xz</filename>) and
34      <command>cd</command> into its source
35      directory before entering the commands on this page.</para>
