This is a version of the dynebolic 1.1.1 kernel configuration file, formatted in the style of "make menuconfig" and adorned with comments.
The corresponding dynebolic-1.1.1 .config file itself is available at http://freaknet.org/martin/dynebolic/dynebolic-1.1.1.config
The general policy seems to be to include everything as a module unless there's a good reason why not.

* openMosix
*
[*] openMosix process migration support (CONFIG_MOSIX)

- I would remove this -martin

I would remove this -martin

[*] Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers (CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL)
*
* Loadable module support
*

- necessary for module auto-loading

- I don't think this is necessary as we don't import modules from old kernel versions -martin
[*] Kernel module loader (CONFIG_KMOD)
- necessary for module auto-loading
*
* Processor type and features
*
Processor family (386, 486, 586/K5/5x86/6x86/6x86MX, Pentium-Classic, Pentium-MMX, Pentium-Pro/Celeron/Pentium-II, Pentium-III/Celeron(Coppermine), Pentium-4, K6/K6-II/K6-III, Athlon/Duron/K7, Elan, Crusoe, Winchip-C6, Winchip-2, Winchip-2A/Winchip-3, CyrixIII/VIA-C3/VIA-C5) [Pentium-MMX]
defined CONFIG_M586MMX![/!\](/wiki/moin_static194/modern/img/alert.png "/!\"){kind=small}
Does using MMX increase system speed at kernel level very much? I can understand user-level programs like mplayer and video effects liking the MMX instructions, but don't think they need kernel support to use them. If we use a generic Pentium-compiled kernel, keeping MMX only for the applications that really need it, we could target a wider range of computers for general-purpose work. Ths only place I can see CONFIG_M.86 being used in the kernel is in serial.c to select inline code or not 
and to select -march for gcc (for which all i586 types are the same), so it should make no difference what we select between the pentium types here. -martin
i see! i thought it was optimizing something more, but in fact you are right! OTOH i wish some mmx extensions would be used in the kernel, sometimes the speed up things a lot. are you sure there isn't any memcpy() wrapper, for instance, using mmx? 
-jrml
[*] Machine Check Exception (CONFIG_X86_MCE)
this currently only does halt when they press the power button. To do this it needs to be enabled by linux boot option mce, and maybe needs some config in the filesystem too. -martin
mmm, well, do we really need it? 
-jrml
[M] Toshiba Laptop support (CONFIG_TOSHIBA)
[M] Dell laptop support (CONFIG_I8K)
[M] /dev/cpu/microcode - Intel IA32 CPU microcode support (CONFIG_MICROCODE)
- I don't think we need to rewrite the CPU's microcode! -martin
[M] /dev/cpu/*/msr - Model-specific register support (CONFIG_X86_MSR)
- Does anything actually use this? OpenMosix doesn't. -martin
[M] /dev/cpu/*/cpuid - CPU information support (CONFIG_X86_CPUID)
- Does anything actually use this? OpenMosix doesn't. -martin
High Memory Support (off, 4GB, 64GB) [off]

[ ] Math emulation (CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION)
- Don't need this: all pentiums include built-in math coprocessor. -martin
[*] MTRR (Memory Type Range Register) support (CONFIG_MTRR)
- This makes video transfers 2.5 times faster, important for X. -martin
[*] Symmetric multi-processing support (CONFIG_SMP)

*
* General setup
*

[*] PCI support (CONFIG_PCI)
PCI access mode (BIOS, Direct, Any) [Any]
defined CONFIG_PCI_GOANY ANY is the option that works with most machines and avoids BIOS bugs -martin
[*] ISA bus support (CONFIG_ISA) [*] PCI device name database (CONFIG_PCI_NAMES) [ ] EISA support (CONFIG_EISA)
why not support EISA too? It died in 1995, so may never be used in Pentium MMX systems -martin
[ ] MCA support (CONFIG_MCA)
MicroChannel is too old to apply to pentium systems -martin
[*] Support for hot-pluggable devices (CONFIG_HOTPLUG)
Required for hotplugging USB storage etc (though this seems not to work) -martin
i was planning to put hotplug in dyne:bolic! this has to be done not only enabling this option, but also adding a daemon and userspace programs - which are not yet in. actually this new feature should get some priority for the upcoming development, to have an up to date support for devices. the current pcimodules is taken from slackware BTW -jrml
*
* PCMCIA/CardBus support
*
[M] PCMCIA/CardBus support (CONFIG_PCMCIA)
[*] CardBus support (CONFIG_CARDBUS)
[*] Databook TCIC host bridge support (CONFIG_TCIC)
- only applies to old laptops like the TI Travelmate 5300. Mailing lists report this being incorrectly detected by Linux 2.2, and that it works with the i82365 driver. The doc says it's used on "a handful of old systems". -martin
[*] i82092 compatible bridge support (CONFIG_I82092)
- "found in some older laptops" -martin
[*] i82365 compatible bridge support (CONFIG_I82365)
- "found on older laptops" -martin
*

*
[ ] Support for PCI Hotplug (EXPERIMENTAL) (CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI)

- ok!
[M] Kernel support for MISC binaries (CONFIG_BINFMT_MISC)
- we don't need this (we compile everything native & don't import precompiled binaries) -martin
[*] Power Management support (CONFIG_PM)
- does this need configuring in user space for dynebolic?
[ ] ACPI support (CONFIG_ACPI)
- the support is experimental, and implies that includeing both ACPI and APM may cause conflict. It also adds 120K to the kernel size. -martin
[M] Advanced Power Management BIOS support (CONFIG_APM)
- this makes the system time be restored after an APM "resume" event, though may need configuring in user space. The extra complexity may be unnecessary.
[*] Ignore USER SUSPEND (CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND)
- Should be N for machine with APM-compilant BIOS; must be Y for the NEC Versa M series notebooks (1.4GHz Pentiums)
[*] Enable PM at boot time (CONFIG_APM_DO_ENABLE)
- "Most machine do fine without this. Turn this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba T400CDT" -martin
[*] Make CPU Idle calls when idle (CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE)
- "On some machines this will cause a hang at boot time or whenever the CPU becomes idle" -martin
[*] Enable console blanking using APM (CONFIG_APM_DISPLAY_BLANK)
- Ineffective under X; "may cause many console errors when using gpm"
[*] RTC stores time in GMT (CONFIG_APM_RTC_IS_GMT)
- Requires a note in the manual on machine setup (people tend to set the time to localtime)
[*] Allow interrupts during APM BIOS calls (CONFIG_APM_ALLOW_INTS)
- "Normally we disable external interrupts while we are making calls to the APM BIOS as a measure to lessen the effects of a badly behaving BIOS implementation. Unfortunately, some BIOSes do reenable interrupts -- especially those in many of the newer IBM Thinkpads. If you experience hangs when you suspend, try setting this to Y."
[*] Use real mode APM BIOS call to power off (CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF)
- "This is a work-around for a number of buggy BIOSes. Switch this option on if your computer crashes instead of powering off properly."

[M] Support for PCMCIA management for PC-style ports (CONFIG_PARPORT_PC_PCMCIA)
[*] Support foreign hardware (CONFIG_PARPORT_OTHER)

- "If you say Y here, the Packet protocol driver will use an IO mechanism that results in faster communication" -martin
[M] Netlink device emulation (CONFIG_NETLINK_DEV)
- Obsolete. "Any programs that wants to use character special nodes like /dev/tap0 or /dev/route (all with major number 36) need this option, and need to be rewritten soon to use the real netlink socket."

- you need special software to use this (pimd-v1)
