Large text files
Hi Apfritts,

I'm glad you're contributing here on the Wiki! I noticed you recently created an article here in your userspace with a kernel file. The Wiki is not really supposed to be used to display large text files such as kernel files. Try to use a hosting site such as GitHub or BitBucket to host the data and then provide a link to the data here on the Wiki.

Let me know if I can help or if you have any questions! --Maffblaster (talk) 17:16, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

This isn't optional! You need to be able to access your system ;)

Ignore this page and follow these steps instead:
