 ### Usage in Rocky Linux
 
-Due to EL's kABI stability and the `weak-modules` mechanism, which this package uses, the same binary package of LKRG works across different kernel revisions/builds within the same EL minor release (e.g., 9.3). Once there's a new minor release (e.g., 9.3 is upgraded to 9.4), we'll provide a new build of LKRG accordingly.

 Although the current package passed our own testing (on 9.3 and 8.9), we recommend that you only enable LKRG to start on system bootup after you've tested it for a while to ensure its compatibility with your system. If you nevertheless run into a boot time issue with LKRG later, you can disable it with the `nolkrg` kernel command-line option.
 
+### Remote logging
+
+LKRG includes a remote kernel message logging capability.
+The corresponding userspace tools are found in the `lkrg-logger` sub-package.
+Documentation is also included in there, in `/usr/share/doc/lkrg-logger/LOGGING`.

 ### Change log
 
-The 0.9.7-4 source package was originally built for (and tested on) 9.2 and 8.8, then rebuilt without source level changes for 9.3 and 8.9 (and re-tested on those versions).
