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33 drivers that have been replaced by something else, and/or are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

633 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can

640 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
641 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
