Yes.

Those are kernel configuration options which means they can only be
set during compile-time. You put those into the kernel configuration
file. Look into GENERIC, most options should already be in there.
Don't modify it though, copy it to something else modify the copy=20
for your purposes and use it for compiling your kernel.

Because that's the default. If you use shutdown -p and your APM
chipset isn't broken, your system will shut down and power off.
