- Look up e.g. "telnet" and "http" in /etc/services file
- instead of assuming ports 23 and 80.
- This is almost never necessary (everybody uses standard ports),
- and it makes sense to avoid reading this file.
- If you disable this option, in the cases where port is explicitly
- specified as a service name (e.g. "telnet HOST PORTNAME"),
- it will still be looked up in /etc/services.
+ Use ioctl names rather than hex values in error messages
+ (e.g. VT_DISALLOCATE rather than 0x5608). If disabled this
+ saves about 1400 bytes.

- help
- Ignore rootfs entry in mount table.
-
- In Linux, kernel has a special filesystem, rootfs, which is initially
- mounted on /. It contains initramfs data, if kernel is configured
- to have one. Usually, another file system is mounted over / early
- in boot process, and therefore most tools which manipulate
- mount table, such as df, will skip rootfs entry.
-
- However, some systems do not mount anything on /.
- If you need to configure busybox for one of these systems,
- you may find it useful to turn this option off to make df show
- initramfs statistics.

- Otherwise, choose Y.
