+Reiserfs support
+CONFIG_REISERFS_FS
+
+ Stores not just filenames but the files themselves in a balanced
+ tree. Uses journaling.
+
+ Balanced trees are more efficient than traditional
+ filesystem architectural foundations.
+
+ You can use reiserfs in all cases where you use the ext2fs file
+ system, and you will gain in speed and disk space. It has fewer
+ worst case performance situations than other file systems
+ because balanced trees are hardier creatures than other algorithms
+ are (if that is not technical enough, read www.namesys.com....:-) )
+
+ It is more easily extended to have features currently found in
+ database and keyword search systems than block allocation based
+ filesystems are. The next version will be so extended, and will
+ support plugins consistent with our motto ``It takes more than a
+ license to make source code open.''
+
+ Read www.namesys.com to learn more about reiserfs.
+
+ Sponsored by Threshold Networks, Emusic.com, and Bigstorage.com.
+
+ If you like it, you can pay us to add new features to it that you
+ need, buy a support contract, or pay us to port it to another OS.
+
+Enable Reiserfs consistency checks
+CONFIG_REISERFS_CHECK
+ If you set this to yes, then ReiserFS will perform every check it
+ can possibly imagine of its internal consistency throughout its
+ operation. It will also go substantially slower. More than once we
+ have forgotten that this was on, and then gone despondent over the
+ latest benchmarks.:-) Use of this option allows our team to go all
+ out in checking for consistency when debugging without fear of its
+ effect on end users. If you are on the verge of sending in a bug
+ report, say yes and you might get a useful error message. Almost
+ everyone should say no.

+CONFIG_ISDN_PPP_BSDCOMP
+ Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses
