In an attempt to get some readable documentation I cloned the git repository
to check how the PDF format is.

Entered Documentation and proceeded with:

	make pdfdocs

Hi,
I'm curious about this part above. Are you saying that you did:

cd Documentation
make pdfdocs

I've never tried that and don't expect it to be done that way.

I do (from the top of the kernel source tree):

make pdfdocs
or
make htmldocs

with no problems, other than I may not have all of the latex
tools installed.

Perhaps we should rename Documentation/Makefile to Documentation/Kbuild
to prevent this confusion?
