  default n  
  help  
   Some BusyBox applets have more configuration options than anyone  
   will ever care about.  To avoid drowining people in complexity, most  
   of the applet features that can be set to a sane default value are  
   hidden, unless you hit the above switch.  
   
   This is better than to telling people to edit the busybox source  
   code, but not by much.
