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53 drivers that have been replaced by something else, and/or are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

138 The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
139 Several compression algorithms are available, which differ

142 Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.
