		NOTES on "make config":

		- having unnecessary drivers will make the kernel bigger, and can
		under some circumstances lead to problems: probing for a
		nonexistent controller card may confuse your other controllers

		- compiling the kernel with "Processor type" set higher than 386
		will result in a kernel that does NOT work on a 386. The
		kernel will detect this on bootup, and give up.

		- A kernel with math-emulation compiled in will still use the

		never get used in that case. The kernel will be slightly larger,
		but will work on different machines regardless of whether they
		have a math coprocessor or not.
