23 ---help---
24 Some of the various things that Linux supports (such as network
25 drivers, file systems, network protocols, etc.) can be in a state
26 of development where the functionality, stability, or the level of
27 testing is not yet high enough for general use. This is usually
28 known as the "alpha-test" phase among developers. If a feature is
29 currently in alpha-test, then the developers usually discourage
30 uninformed widespread use of this feature by the general public to
31 avoid "Why doesn't this work?" type mail messages. However, active
32 testing and use of these systems is welcomed. Just be aware that it
33 may not meet the normal level of reliability or it may fail to work
34 in some special cases. Detailed bug reports from people familiar
35 with the kernel internals are usually welcomed by the developers
36 (before submitting bug reports, please read the documents
37 <file:README>, <file:MAINTAINERS>, <file:REPORTING-BUGS>,
38 <file:Documentation/BUG-HUNTING>, and
39 <file:Documentation/oops-tracing.txt> in the kernel source).
40
41 This option will also make obsoleted drivers available. These are
42 drivers that have been replaced by something else, and/or are
43 scheduled to be removed in a future kernel release.
44
45 Unless you intend to help test and develop a feature or driver that
46 falls into this category, or you have a situation that requires
47 using these features, you should probably say N here, which will
48 cause the configurator to present you with fewer choices. If
49 you say Y here, you will be offered the choice of using features or
50 drivers that are currently considered to be in the alpha-test phase.
