(which are, generally, parameters global to all kernel images specified in the configuration
file), and lines which specify devices 'attached' to the system. We have indicated both
classes of lines as follows:
• General system description lines are tagged "**mandatory**". These lines
must
be
included in your system configuration file, either exactly as they stand or, if commentary
indicates variables, with the variables adjusted to fit your system.
• Device description lines are given and explained. Often, we also refer you to the manual
entry which covers the device in question. When you edit the
GENERIC
file, you should
include only the lines which describe your system's devices. Remember that if you are
creating a kernel for several clients, the configuration file must include the entire set of
devices used by all the machines.
