Alain Knaff30d65db2009-01-04 22:46:17 +0100122 The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
123 Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
124 in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
125 Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
126 Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.

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

1721 This option allows you to force a module to unload, even if the
1722 kernel believes it is unsafe: the kernel will remove the module
1723 without waiting for anyone to stop using it (using the -f option to
1724 rmmod). This is mainly for kernel developers and desperate users.

1730 Usually, you have to use modules compiled with your kernel.
1731 Saying Y here makes it sometimes possible to use modules
1732 compiled for different kernels, by adding enough information

1740 Modules which contain a MODULE_VERSION get an extra "srcversion"
1741 field inserted into their modinfo section, which contains a
1742 sum of the source files which made it. This helps maintainers
1743 see exactly which source was used to build a module (since
1744 others sometimes change the module source without updating
1745 the version). With this option, such a "srcversion" field
