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 drivers that have been replaced by something else, and/or are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

  115. The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.

  119. Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.

  121. kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. (An older
  122. version of this functionality (bzip2 only), for 2.4, was
  123. supplied by Christian Ludwig)
