- The sysctl interface provides a means of dynamically changing

- a recompile of the kernel or reboot of the system. The primary
- interface consists of a system call, but if you say Y to "/proc
- file system support", a tree of modifiable sysctl entries will be
- generated beneath the /proc/sys directory. They are explained in the
- files in <file:Documentation/sysctl/>. Note that enabling this
- option will enlarge the kernel by at least 8 KB.

- building a kernel for install/rescue disks or your system is very
- limited in memory.
