35 ---help---
36 Some of the various things that Linux supports (such as network
37 drivers, file systems, network protocols, etc.) can be in a state
38 of development where the functionality, stability, or the level of
39 testing is not yet high enough for general use. This is usually
40 known as the "alpha-test" phase among developers. If a feature is
41 currently in alpha-test, then the developers usually discourage
42 uninformed widespread use of this feature by the general public to
43 avoid "Why doesn't this work?" type mail messages. However, active
44 testing and use of these systems is welcomed. Just be aware that it
45 may not meet the normal level of reliability or it may fail to work
46 in some special cases. Detailed bug reports from people familiar
47 with the kernel internals are usually welcomed by the developers
48 (before submitting bug reports, please read the documents
49 <file:README>, <file:MAINTAINERS>, <file:REPORTING-BUGS>,
50 <file:Documentation/BUG-HUNTING>, and
51 <file:Documentation/oops-tracing.txt> in the kernel source).
52
53 This option will also make obsoleted drivers available. These are
54 drivers that have been replaced by something else, and/or are
55 scheduled to be removed in a future kernel release.
56
57 Unless you intend to help test and develop a feature or driver that
58 falls into this category, or you have a situation that requires
59 using these features, you should probably say N here, which will
60 cause the configurator to present you with fewer choices. If
61 you say Y here, you will be offered the choice of using features or
62 drivers that are currently considered to be in the alpha-test phase.
