kernel configuration guide?

[CaptainPinko]

is there a kernel configuration guide? one with longer explantions about eac module and explain when it is better to copule in or to leave as a module?

I think the debate over compiling modules or not will never be resolved........a bit of googling should get you some good reading matter.

As for guides on Kernels, i think the best place to look is the help option for each module in the kernel itself. I've never found a good reference in one webpage before :(

I was searching for a kernel guide myself without much success either.

My advise would be to read the documentation provided in the kernel sources and googling for longer technical explanations.

That's what i've been doing and so far so good :)

Free software(and especially Linux) evolves so quickly, that even if somebody did write a guide like this, it would soon be outdated.

/usr/src/linux/Documentation/Configure.help should give you some of the info.
