Linux Configuration Help

I wrote two scripts to collect all the kernel configuration help text into one place so it is accessible without having to use a configuration tool. This is help text that appears if you use the <Help> button or press the ? key while running make menuconfig or one of the other interactive kernel configuration tools. A Perl script named mktbl.pl does the bulk of the work. Go easy on me — the code isn't idiomatic Perl because I'm relatively new to Perl programming. This was a practice project to help me learn, so I'm sure it shows. While I am still working out some niggling problems, I'm pleased with the initial results. Hope you do, too.

You can view the complete document as a single page (it is almost 2MB, so watch out!) or use the list below to browse by file. It's a long list, so I'll be coming up with a manageable way to present it. In the meantime…
