I rarely used 2.2, I went from 2.1 to 2.3 and I don't recall having to ever enable it. Once it was compiled in it was on. -d -- There is a natural aristocracy among men.

It is enabled by default. A few distributions have a boot script that enables or disables it based on the sysconfig. -d -- There is a natural aristocracy among men.

I'd suggest leaving those lines in; I've never had it enabled by default. I've run Debian and Redhat systems, and both had to have the option specifically turned ON via startup script - simply compiling it into a kernel did not enable it.

AFAIK, this hasn't ever been true. I have never had to specifically enable it at run time. There are certain distributions which disabled it by default but this is distribution specific, not by way of the kernel. -d -- There is a natural aristocracy among men.
