From ddb37c51d4bb746ec6abf82bbb12a281db155fde Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adrien 'neox' Bourmault Date: Wed, 29 Nov 2023 19:27:18 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] site/download.md: refer to GNU Boot and simplify "statically linked" paragraph This commit simplifies the "statically linked" paragraph by removing unneeded references to another project releases older than GNU Boot. Also it makes the text only refer to GNU Boot.
