 | 28 | 	---help--- | 
 | 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 |  | 
 | 46 | 	  This option will also make obsoleted drivers available. These are | 
 | 47 | 	  drivers that have been replaced by something else, and/or are | 
 | 48 | 	  scheduled to be removed in a future kernel release. | 
 | 49 |  | 
 | 50 | 	  Unless you intend to help test and develop a feature or driver that | 
 | 51 | 	  falls into this category, or you have a situation that requires | 
 | 52 | 	  using these features, you should probably say N here, which will | 
 | 53 | 	  cause the configurator to present you with fewer choices. If | 
 | 54 | 	  you say Y here, you will be offered the choice of using features or | 
 | 55 | 	  drivers that are currently considered to be in the alpha-test phase. |
