Configuration Menu Language
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Configuration Menu Language (CML) was used, in Linux kernel versions prior to 2.5.45, to configure the values that determine the composition and exact functionality of the kernel.
Many possible variations in kernel functionality can exist; and customization is possible, for instance for the specifications of the exact hardware it will run on. It can also be tuned for administrator preferences.
CML was written by Raymond Chen in 1993.[1] Its question-and-answer interface allowed systematic selection of particular behaviors without editing multiple system files.
