+Kernel support for JAVA binaries
+CONFIG_BINFMT_JAVA
+ JAVA binaries are becoming a universal executable format. This
+ option allows Java binaries and Java Applets to be handled invisibly
+ to the OS. As more and more Java programs become available, the use
+ for this will gradually increase. If you want to use this, read the
+ Java on Linux HOWTO, available via ftp (user: anonymous) at
+ sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO. In order to execute Java binaries,
+ you will also need to install the Java Developers Kit. If you disable
+ this option it will reduce your kernel by about one page. This is not
+ much and by itself does not warrant removing support. However its
+ removal is a good idea if you do not have the JDK installed. If you
+ don't know what to answer at this point then answer Y. You may answer
+ M for module support and later load the module when you install the
+ JDK or find a interesting Java program that you can't live without.

- Believe it or not, there is a SCSI host adaptor of that name. It is
- explained in section 3.6 of the SCSI-HOWTO, available via ftp (user:
- anonymous) at sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO. If it doesn't
- work out of the box, you may have to change some settings in
- drivers/scsi/in2000.h. You may also want to drop in a rewritten,
- and probably more reliable, driver from John Shifflett, which you
- can get from ftp://ftp.netcom.com/pub/js/jshiffle/in2000/ . If you
- want to compile this as a module ( = code which can be inserted in
- and removed from the running kernel whenever you want), say M here
- and read Documentation/modules.txt.
+ This is support for an ISA bus SCSI host adaptor. You'll find
+ more information in drivers/scsi/in2000.readme. If it doesn't

+ or address selection. If you want to compile this as a module
