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 drivers that have been replaced by something else, and/or are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

  114. The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
  115. Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
  116. in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
  117. Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
  118. Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.
  119. If you have any problems with bzip2 or lzma compressed
  120. kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. (An older
  121. version of this functionality (bzip2 only), for 2.4, was
  122. supplied by Christian Ludwig)
  123. High compression options are mostly useful for users, who
  124. are low on disk space (embedded systems), but for whom ram
  125. size matters less.

  153. XZ uses the LZMA2 algorithm and instruction set specific
  154. BCJ filters which can improve compression ratio of executable
  155. code. The size of the kernel is about 30% smaller with XZ in

  157. filter (i386, x86_64, ARM, IA-64, PowerPC, and SPARC), XZ
  158. will create a few percent smaller kernel than plain LZMA.
  159. The speed is about the same as with LZMA: The decompression
  160. speed of XZ is better than that of bzip2 but worse than gzip
  161. and LZO. Compression is slow.
