There was a coma, and that doesn't make it the same as Optional for VMware virtual machines, but yes I agree there. I've corrected that to be Optional, required for ... as in the USB part. One of the USB controller drivers, hardware dependent. You can look in the lsmod output - can all be used? Well, that really depends. I've corrected it to say One or more, since some hardware can use only one (ie USB 2.0 only hardware), while some older hardware has both USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 and some newer hardware has also USB 2.0 and USB 3.0. # while the others can be also select as module: s/select/selected/? Yes, corrected.
