>From the docs: System V IPC CONFIG_SYSVIPC Inter Process Communication is a suite of library functions and system calls which let processes (running programs) synchronize and exchange information. It is generally considered to be a good thing, and some programs won't run unless you say Y here. In particular, if you want to run the DOS emulator dosemu under Linux (read the DOSEMU-HOWTO, available via FTP (user: anonymous) in ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO), you'll need to say Y here. You can find documentation about IPC with "info ipc" and also in section 6.4 of the Linux Programmer's Guide, available via FTP (user: anonymous) from ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/LDP/programmers-guide. Saying Y here enlarges your kernel by about 7 KB. Just say Y. HTH. Groetjes, Ookhoi
