Patch below for the debian branch, for the file:
 openssi/docs/debian/devel/INSTALL.cvs, making some changes to section 2.

More may well need to be done in section 5, but since section 3 is giving
me issues, I'll get to that later if needed.

It being reasonably small, I've also attached it, in case thats easier
for you to handle.

 2 ) Building OpenSSI kernel on Debian( you need to have gawk installed )
-	As of now we are using the kernel provided in the redhat branch for Debian too. 
-	You can check out the redhat branch using below commands
-	cvs -z3 -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/ci-linux co  -r OPENSSI-RH ci
-	cvs -z3 -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/ssic-linux co  -r OPENSSI-RH openssi

- Now you need to get the base kernel against with the above checked out openssi changes are made. 
-
- You can checkout the base kernel by using the below command
- cvs -z3 -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/ssic-linux co  srpms/linux-X-Y-Z.bz2
-
- Extract  linux-X-Y-Z.bz2 to linux directory so that we have a directory layout as below
-
-kvaneesh@machineheads:~/myopensource/redhat$ bzip2 -d  linux-2.6.10.tar.bz2
-kvaneesh@machineheads:~/myopensource/redhat$ tar -xvf linux-2.6.10.tar 
-kvaneesh@machineheads:~/myopensource/redhat$ ls
-ci  linux  linux-2.6.10.tar  openssi
