             <code>28.0.0</code>. Don't proceed with the installation process until this is set up
             properly in your current shell. A very common mistake is using an outdated copy of
             <code>fastboot</code> from a Linux distribution package not receiving regular updates.
-            Make sure that the <code>fastboot</code> found earliest in your <code>PATH</code> is
-            the correct one if you have multiple copies on your system. You can run <code>which
-            fastboot</code> to determine where the tool being used is coming from. Older versions
-            do not have support for current devices. Very old versions of <code>fastboot</code>
-            from several years ago are still shipped by Linux distributions like Debian and lack
-            the compatibility detection of modern versions so they can soft brick devices.</p>
