18591da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
18601da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
18611da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  permanently built into the kernel.  You use the "modprobe"
18621da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  tool to add (and sometimes remove) them.  If you say Y here,
18631da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
18641da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
18651da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  useful for infrequently used options which are not required
18661da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  for booting.  For more information, see the man pages for
18671da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.

18711da177e4SLinus Torvalds	  where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
