These are help texts for the configuration of the Linux kernel
versions 1.3.x. Be aware that these are development kernels.

Configure.help   contains the help texts.
Configure        is a modified configuration script which uses 
                 Configure.help to provide context sensitive help 
                 during kernel configuration.
                 Whenever you answer a configuration question with
                 "?", you'll get help for that particular option.

To install:

  * make sure that the 1.3.x source is installed under /usr/src/linux.

  * install the modified Configure script and the help texts with

    $ mv /usr/src/linux/scripts/Configure /usr/src/linux/scripts/Configure.old
    $ mv Configure /usr/src/linux/scripts
    $ mv Configure.help /usr/src/linux/Documentation

  * configure your kernel as usual with "cd /usr/src/linux; make config".
  
You should still be able to apply kernel patches since the
configuration script is very rarely patched. However, if there are
problems, just restore your old Configure script.

The latest version of the help texts is always available on the WWW as
