18721da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
18731da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  permanently built into the kernel.  You use the "modprobe"
18741da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  tool to add (and sometimes remove) them.  If you say Y here,
18751da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by

18771da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  useful for infrequently used options which are not required
