-# Multiboot2: MBI + Header

-This repository contains the crates `multiboot2` and `multiboot2-header`.
-Please check their individual README-files ([multiboot2](multiboot2/README.md),
-[multiboot2-header](multiboot2-header/README.md)).
+## Repository Overview
 
-The `multiboot2` crate helps to parse the Multiboot2 information structure
-(MBI) and is relevant in kernels, that get booted by a bootloader such as
-GRUB, for example. `multiboot2-header` helps you to either build
-Multiboot2-headers yourself, or to parse Multiboot2 headers in custom bootloader
-or similar applications.
