docs: admin-guide: do not mention the 'run a.out user programs' feature
Running a.out user programs with the latest kernel release is a very rare and uncommon use case nowadays. The support of a.out user programs is only remaining for the alpha architecture and is not defined and activated in the architecture's Kconfig (so even the activation of this support requires to modify the Kconfig file and not just kernel build configuration). The discussion on a.out support in 2019 (see Link) shows that the support of a.out user programs is just remaining for a special corner case from some (alpha architecture) users. There is no need to point out and mention this special feature to the general audience of kernel users. Delete the reference to this historic and special feature.

- Make sure you have at least gcc 5.1 available.
|

For more information, refer to :ref:`Documentation/process/changes.rst <changes>`.
|
||||
|
||||
Please note that you can still run a.out user programs with this kernel.
|

|
||||
- Do a ``make`` to create a compressed kernel image. It is also
|
||||
possible to do ``make install`` if you have lilo installed to suit the
|
||||
kernel makefiles, but you may want to check your particular lilo setup first.
