-1. Start by installing an Open vSwitch kernel module.  There are multiple ways
-   to do this.  In order of increasing manual effort, these are:
-
-       * Use a Linux kernel 3.3 or later, which has an integrated Open
-        vSwitch kernel module.
-
-        The upstream Linux kernel module lacks a few features that
-        are in the third-party module.  For details, please see the
-        FAQ, "What features are not available in the Open vSwitch
-        kernel datapath that ships as part of the upstream Linux
-        kernel?".
-
-       * Install the "openvswitch-datapath-dkms" Debian package that
-        you built earlier.  This should automatically build and
-        install the Open vSwitch kernel module for your running
-        kernel.
-
-        This option requires that you have a compiler and toolchain
-        installed on the machine where you run Open vSwitch, which
-        may be unacceptable in some production server environments.
-
-       * Install the "openvswitch-datapath-source" Debian package, use
-        "module-assistant" to build a Debian package of the Open
-        vSwitch kernel module for your kernel, and then install that
-        Debian package.
-
-        You can install the kernel module Debian packages that you
-        build this way on the same machine where you built it or on
-        another machine or machines, which means that you don't
-        necessarily have to have any build infrastructure on the
-        machines where you use the kernel module.
-
-        /usr/share/doc/openvswitch-datapath-source/README.Debian has
-        details on the build process.
-
-       * Build and install the kernel module by hand.

+   debian/openvswitch-switch.README.Debian for the available options.

 
 2. Install the "openvswitch-switch" and "openvswitch-common" packages.
    These packages include the core userspace components of the switch.
