378 If you say Y here, a user level program will be able to instruct the
379 kernel (via a special system call) to write process accounting
380 information to a file: whenever a process exits, information about
381 that process will be appended to the file by the kernel. The
382 information includes things such as creation time, owning user,
383 command name, memory usage, controlling terminal etc. (the complete
384 list is in the struct acct in <file:include/linux/acct.h>). It is

1722 This option allows you to force a module to unload, even if the
1723 kernel believes it is unsafe: the kernel will remove the module
1724 without waiting for anyone to stop using it (using the -f option to
1725 rmmod). This is mainly for kernel developers and desperate users.

1731 Usually, you have to use modules compiled with your kernel.
1732 Saying Y here makes it sometimes possible to use modules
1733 compiled for different kernels, by adding enough information

1735 make them incompatible with the kernel you are running. If

1741 Modules which contain a MODULE_VERSION get an extra "srcversion"
1742 field inserted into their modinfo section, which contains a
1743 sum of the source files which made it. This helps maintainers
1744 see exactly which source was used to build a module (since
1745 others sometimes change the module source without updating
1746 the version). With this option, such a "srcversion" field
1747 will be created for all modules. If unsure, say N.
