381da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  Some of the various things that Linux supports (such as network
391da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  drivers, file systems, network protocols, etc.) can be in a state
401da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  of development where the functionality, stability, or the level of
411da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  testing is not yet high enough for general use. This is usually
421da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  known as the "alpha-test" phase among developers. If a feature is
431da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  currently in alpha-test, then the developers usually discourage
441da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  uninformed widespread use of this feature by the general public to
451da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  avoid "Why doesn't this work?" type mail messages. However, active
461da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  testing and use of these systems is welcomed. Just be aware that it
471da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  may not meet the normal level of reliability or it may fail to work
481da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  in some special cases. Detailed bug reports from people familiar
491da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  with the kernel internals are usually welcomed by the developers
501da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  (before submitting bug reports, please read the documents
511da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  <file:README>, <file:MAINTAINERS>, <file:REPORTING-BUGS>,
521da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  <file:Documentation/BUG-HUNTING>, and

591da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  Unless you intend to help test and develop a feature or driver that
601da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  falls into this category, or you have a situation that requires
611da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  using these features, you should probably say N here, which will
621da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  cause the configurator to present you with fewer choices. If
631da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  you say Y here, you will be offered the choice of using features or
641da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  drivers that are currently considered to be in the alpha-test phase.

15071da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
15081da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
15091da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  permanently built into the kernel.  You use the "modprobe"
15101da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  tool to add (and sometimes remove) them.  If you say Y here,
15111da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
15121da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
15131da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  useful for infrequently used options which are not required
15141da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  for booting.  For more information, see the man pages for
15151da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
15161da177e4SLinus Torvalds
15171da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
15181da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
15191da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
15201da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  this).
