 ### Alternative to Omnibus GitLab
 
 If the GitLab Omnibus package is not available in your distribution, you can
 choose between:
 
-- [Installation from source](installation.md): Install GitLab from source.
-  Useful for unsupported systems like *BSD. For an overview of the directory
-  structure, read the [structure documentation](structure.md).
-  While the recommended database is PostgreSQL, we provide information to install
