[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] doc: announce removal of interactive setup script

[Thomas Monjalon]

Environment configuration is the responsibility of distributions
or upper-level frameworks.
DPDK focus on documenting the requirements and some recommendations.
If some specific parts are complex, they can deserve some scripts.

Maintaining a good adaptative deployment setup is a project by itself.
Anyway this script was interactive, useful only for experimenters.
