+--------
+Some kernel features may be built directly into the kernel.
+Some may be made into loadable runtime modules.  Some features
+may be completely removed altogether.  There are also certain
+kernel parameters which are not really features, but must be 
+entered in as decimal or hexidecimal numbers or possibly text.
+
+Menu items beginning with (*), (M) or ( ) represent features 
+configured to be built in, modularized or removed respectively.
+Pointed brackets <> represent module capable features.

+keys and press <Y> to build it in, <M> to make it a module or
