1703 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
1704 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
1705 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
1706
1707 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1708 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1709 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
1710 this).
