Tools for the customization and overclock Linux kernel

Installing this package will automatically also install Linux kernel with overclock support (e.g Linux kernel for power user).

The command /usr/sbin/kernel-config can be used to load, save and show CPU frequency, voltage and DSP settings. It can also set defaults which are loaded during boot. Different profiles can be stored in the user's home directory.

Kernel modules specified in /etc/modules are loaded during boot.

The boot scripts contain safety mechanisms to temporarily disable them after a crash for recovery.
