| 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| 42 | drivers that have been replaced by something else, and/or are |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. |

| 1037 | help |
| 1038 | Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can |
| 1039 | be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being |
| 1040 | permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe" |
| 1041 | tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here, |
| 1042 | many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by |
| 1043 | answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most |
| 1044 | useful for infrequently used options which are not required |
| 1045 | for booting. For more information, see the man pages for |
| 1046 | modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod. |
| 1047 | |
| 1048 | If you say Y here, you will need to run "make |
| 1049 | modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/ |

| 1051 | this). |
