+config STDERR_CONSOLE
+ bool "stderr console"
+ default y
+ help
+ console driver which dumps all printk messages to stderr.
+
+config SSL
+ bool "Virtual serial line"
+ help
+ The User-Mode Linux environment allows you to create virtual serial
+ lines on the UML that are usually made to show up on the host as
+ ttys or ptys.
+
+ See <http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/old/input.html> for more
+ information and command line examples of how to use this facility.
+
+ Unless you have a specific reason for disabling this, say Y.
+
+config NULL_CHAN
+ bool "null channel support"
+ help
+ This option enables support for attaching UML consoles and serial
+ lines to a device similar to /dev/null. Data written to it disappears
+ and there is never any data to be read.
+
+config PORT_CHAN
+ bool "port channel support"
+ help
+ This option enables support for attaching UML consoles and serial
+ lines to host portals. They may be accessed with 'telnet <host>
+ <port number>'. Any number of consoles and serial lines may be
+ attached to a single portal, although what UML device you get when
+ you telnet to that portal will be unpredictable.
+ It is safe to say 'Y' here.
+
+config PTY_CHAN
+ bool "pty channel support"
+ help
+ This option enables support for attaching UML consoles and serial
+ lines to host pseudo-terminals. Access to both traditional
+ pseudo-terminals (/dev/pty*) and pts pseudo-terminals are controlled
+ with this option. The assignment of UML devices to host devices
+ will be announced in the kernel message log.
+ It is safe to say 'Y' here.
+
+config TTY_CHAN
+ bool "tty channel support"
+ help
+ This option enables support for attaching UML consoles and serial
+ lines to host terminals. Access to both virtual consoles
+ (/dev/tty*) and the slave side of pseudo-terminals (/dev/ttyp* and
+ /dev/pts/*) are controlled by this option.
+ It is safe to say 'Y' here.
+
+config XTERM_CHAN
+ bool "xterm channel support"
+ help
+ This option enables support for attaching UML consoles and serial
+ lines to xterms. Each UML device so assigned will be brought up in
+ its own xterm.
+ It is safe to say 'Y' here.
+
+config NOCONFIG_CHAN
+ bool
+ default !(XTERM_CHAN && TTY_CHAN && PTY_CHAN && PORT_CHAN && NULL_CHAN)
+
+config CON_ZERO_CHAN
+ string "Default main console channel initialization"
+ default "fd:0,fd:1"
+ help
+ This is the string describing the channel to which the main console
+ will be attached by default. This value can be overridden from the
+ command line. The default value is "fd:0,fd:1", which attaches the
+ main console to stdin and stdout.
+ It is safe to leave this unchanged.
+
+config CON_CHAN
+ string "Default console channel initialization"
+ default "xterm"
+ help
+ This is the string describing the channel to which all consoles
+ except the main console will be attached by default. This value can
+ be overridden from the command line. The default value is "xterm",
+ which brings them up in xterms.
+ It is safe to leave this unchanged, although you may wish to change
+ this if you expect the UML that you build to be run in environments
+ which don't have X or xterm available.
+
+config SSL_CHAN
+ string "Default serial line channel initialization"
+ default "pty"
+ help
+ This is the string describing the channel to which the serial lines
+ will be attached by default. This value can be overridden from the
+ command line. The default value is "pty", which attaches them to
+ traditional pseudo-terminals.
+ It is safe to leave this unchanged, although you may wish to change
+ this if you expect the UML that you build to be run in environments
+ which don't have a set of /dev/pty* devices.
+
+config UML_SOUND
+ tristate "Sound support"
+ help
+ This option enables UML sound support. If enabled, it will pull in
+ soundcore and the UML hostaudio relay, which acts as a intermediary
+ between the host's dsp and mixer devices and the UML sound system.
+ It is safe to say 'Y' here.
