+#	INSTALL -- somewhat generic kernel with a snowball's chance of
+#		   fitting on an install floppy.
+#
+#	This kernel MUST consist (for users' sanity) of a subset of 
+#	the GENERIC configuration.  It also should support X reasonably
+#	(though the SysV SHM extensions won't work).
+#
+#	To avoid a maintenance nightmare, this kernel consists of GENERIC
+#	with missing options/devices/etc. REMOVED rather than commented
+#	out.  That makes it easy to diff agains GENERIC, to make sure that
+#	it really is a subset of the functionality.
