Configuration Menu Language is used, before compilation of a Linux kernel, to configure the set of values that will determine the composition and exact functionality of the kernel. Wide variations in kernel functionality exist; a particular kernel can be customized for the exact hardware it will run on and it can be tuned by indicating preference for one behavior over another.

A replacement system for the original Configuration Menu Language has been developed by Eric S. Raymond and named CML2 (for Configuration Menu Language 2), but has been officially rejected[1] by the core Linux kernel team.
