Hi, everyone...
can anyone please explain me the contents of .config file. while we compile the kernel we do make menu config (or xconfig..etc) and we get a lot of options in the menu. we have to choose them and accordingly a .config file is generated (or previous one updated). but there are so many options that i do not understand all. Can anyone plz suggest me any link or any material so that i can get a little bit expertise in that..(many details are there but i want to understand them all....)....
Thank you

Take a look here for an overview:

Also, Linux Kernel in a Nutshell from O'Reilly Press is excellent and gives detailed explanations for all configuration options:
