                 Continuing with the example, the following two commands setup the emulation 
                 environment and launch QEMU.
-                This example assumes the root filesystem tarball has been downloaded and expanded, and 
-                that the kernel and filesystem are for a 32-bit target architecture.
+                This example assumes the root filesystem (<filename>.ext3</filename> file) and 
+                the pre-built kernel image file both reside in your home directory. 
+                The kernel and filesystem are for a 32-bit target architecture.
