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