+	  usbredir is the name of a network protocol for sending usb device
+	  traffic over a network connection. It is also the name of the
+	  software package offering a parsing library, a usbredirhost library
+	  and several utilities implementing this protocol.
+	  
+	  Note: only the library is installed, not the utilities. Say 'y'
+	  below if you want the server too.
