+ help
+ This option allows you to use a specific official version from
+ kernel.org, like 2.6.x, 2.6.x.y, 3.x.y, ...
+
+ Note: you cannot use this option to select a _longterm_ 2.6
+ kernel, because these kernels are not located at the standard
+ URL at kernel.org. Instead, select "Custom tarball" and
+ specify the right URL directly.
