 == Building a Kernel from the Fedora dist-git
 
+First, a checkout from the https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/kernel[Fedora kernel dist-git] is required:

+[source,bash]

 The kernel, like any other Fedora package, has a branch per Fedora release.
 `rawhide` corresponds to Rawhide and each version of Fedora has a branch called
-`f<version>`. For example, to build a Fedora 28 kernel, you would first need
-to check out that branch with:
+`f<version>`.
