16//config: fdflush is only needed when changing media on slightly-broken
17//config: removable media drives. It is used to make Linux believe that a
18//config: hardware disk-change switch has been actuated, which causes Linux to
19//config: forget anything it has cached from the previous media. If you have
20//config: such a slightly-broken drive, you will need to run fdflush every time
21//config: you change a disk. Most people have working hardware and can safely
22//config: leave this disabled.

28//config: help
29//config: Linux allows you to create ramdisks. This utility allows you to
30//config: delete them and completely free all memory that was used for the
31//config: ramdisk. For example, if you boot Linux into a ramdisk and later
32//config: pivot_root, you may want to free the memory that is allocated to the
33//config: ramdisk. If you have no use for freeing memory from a ramdisk, leave
34//config: this disabled.
