The text I'm using for telling people how to bisect is:

<--  snip  -->

# install git and cogito on your computer

# clone Linus' tree:
cg-clone \ 
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git

# start bisecting:
cd linux-2.6
git bisect start
git bisect bad v2.6.21
git bisect good v2.6.20
cp /path/to/.config .

# start a round
make oldconfig
make
# install kernel, check whether it's good or bad, then:
git bisect [bad|good]
# start next round


After at about 12 reboots you'll have found the guilty commit
("...  is first bad commit").


More information on git bisecting:
  man git-bisect

<--  snip  -->


Is this text understandable?

If not, what is missing?
