+	  The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
+	  Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
+	  in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
+	  Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
+	  Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.
+
+	  If you have any problems with bzip2 or lzma compressed
+	  kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. (An older
+	  version of this functionality (bzip2 only), for 2.4, was
+	  supplied by Christian Ludwig)
+
+	  High compression options are mostly useful for users, who
+	  are low on disk space (embedded systems), but for whom ram
+	  size matters less.
+
+	  If in doubt, select 'gzip'

+config KERNEL_GZIP

+	  The old and tried gzip compression. Its compression ratio is
+	  the poorest among the 3 choices; however its speed (both
+	  compression and decompression) is the fastest.

+config KERNEL_BZIP2
+	bool "Bzip2"
+	depends on HAVE_KERNEL_BZIP2
+	help
+	  Its compression ratio and speed is intermediate.
+	  Decompression speed is slowest among the three.  The kernel
+	  size is about 10% smaller with bzip2, in comparison to gzip.
+	  Bzip2 uses a large amount of memory. For modern kernels you
+	  will need at least 8MB RAM or more for booting.
+
+config KERNEL_LZMA
+	bool "LZMA"
+	depends on HAVE_KERNEL_LZMA
+	help
+	  The most recent compression algorithm.
+	  Its ratio is best, decompression speed is between the other
+	  two. Compression is slowest.	The kernel size is about 33%
+	  smaller with LZMA in comparison to gzip.
