I am undertaking my first kernel config using 3.1 Release.  I have read
(actually printed out the whole thing) the manual, and the LINT file for
guidance.  They both fell short for a couple options.  Any response to
these would be very much appreciated.  What I want to know is if I
should use these options, why or why not.  The system I'm configuring is
my home box, but I will use it as a small scale web server.  The
processor is an AMD K6-2.  I plan to do some programming, but nothing
too complex right now.


options        "CD9660_ROOT"  # I do have option CD9660 already
options        NSWAPDEV=20
# POSIX - Do I need posix for basic day to day usage,
# or is this geared towards programming compatibility?
options        "P1003_1B"
options        "_KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING"
options        "_KPOSIX_VERSION=199309L"
options        "MSGBUF_SIZE=40960"
options        PPS_SYNC
controller        pnp0         # I don't have any devices right now that
are PnP
# but should I use it for the future?
options        LKM         # What LKM's are around that I could use?
options        DDB (or DDB_UNATTENDED) # I noticed the GENERIC doesn't
have them
options        INVARIANTS


Thanks again,

Jon Passki
