 Using ``tuned`` and ``ktune``
 -----------------------------
 
 .. important::
 
-   If installed, you must configure ``tuned`` and ``ktune`` to prevent them from
-   re-enabling THP.
+   If using ``tuned`` or ``ktune``, you must perform this step in addition
+   to installing the init script.
 
 ``tuned`` and ``ktune`` are dynamic kernel tuning tools available on Red Hat
 and CentOS that can disable transparent huge pages.
