Hmm, good point. I am running 2.4 test kernels and it says the same thing.
I have never tried to change the parameter, I just remember reading about
it. I guess the best way to find out if they are unused is to change them
and see what happens. I might give this a test at home tonight and see if
the documentation is a little out of date. thanks
