Symbol(s)	Description
[ ], [*]	Options in square brackets can be activated or deactivated. The asterisk marks the menu entry as activated. The value can be changed with the space key. It is also possible to press Y key (Yes) to activate or N key (No) to deactivate the selected entry. If the option is activated, the selected feature/driver will be built into the kernel and will always be available at boot time.
< >, <M>, <*>	Options in angle brackets can be activated or deactivated, but also activated as module (indicated by a M). The values can be modified by pressing Y/N keys as before or by pressing the M key to activate the feature/driver as a module. See the Kernel Modules article for differentiation.
{M}, {*}	Options in curly brackets can be activated or activated as module but not be deactivated. This happens because another feature/driver is dependent on this feature.
-M-, -*-	Options between hyphens are activated in the shown way by another feature/driver. There is no choice.
