CONFIG_SRM_ENV
- If you enable this option, a subdirectory called srm_environment
- will give you access to the most important SRM environment
- variables. If you've got an Alpha style system supporting
- SRC, then it is a good idea to say Yes or Module to this driver.
+ If you enable this option, you'll find all important SRM environment
+ variables in /proc/srm_environment/named_variables/. In addition to

+ your SRM environment (or if you're building a generic kernel for

- This driver is also available as a module and will be called
- srm_env.o if you build it as a module.
+ If you build it as a module, the resulting file will be srm_env.o.
CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL
Say Y here if you are developing drivers or trying to debug and

After reading this, I still don't know what SRM is. Could you possibly expand
SRM in the first line so it makes sense for te not-so-clued-up? E.g.:
"If you enable this option, the important Silly Random Memo (SRM) confguration
settings are stored in /proc/srm_environment/ ..."
Thanks,
Ruth
