a) don't bother customizing kernel if beginner. more advanced users don't bother, because setting kernel options scratch pita.

customize kernel because use gentoo, , that, took long time me select right options hardware working.

b) use menuconfig instead. when highlight option using keyboard arrows, can use "/" key read description.
