 !!! nVidia and LinuxKernel 2.6 
  
 [nVidia drivers|http://www.nvidia.com/linux] version 1.0-6106 and up support all 2.4 and 2.6 kernels, including kernels with the new 2.6 option for 4k stacks. 
+  
+!!! Kconfig files  
+  
+These are kernel configuration files. When the kernel configuration application is run, it reads the main kernel configuration file, located in /source/dir/arch/<your architecture>/Kconfig. This main configuration file then includes other configuration files from the different subdirectories in the kernel directory tree.  
  
 !!! Other Misc 2.6 Notes 
  
 In the 2.4 series, you could read <tt>Documentation/Configure.help</tt> to see all the help for the entries you'd see in <tt>make ''foo''config</tt>. In 2.6, this has moved to individual <tt>Kconfig</tt> files in each sub-directory of the source tree.
