[gentoo-user] A List of Module Descriptions

Hi,

 

In my quest to install Gentoo and get it chugging along, I am wondering if
there is a database that explains what a particular kernel module does so
that I don't break something that doesn't need to be changed or enable
something that I ought not to have enabled.

 

Hunter

Select the module option in the "make menuconfig" UI and press the ? key.
