Configuring BusyBox using menuconfig doesn't mean that it contains the
kernel,
you are right when you say the kernel contains memory management, drivers,
... but BusyBox has nothing to do with this.

To build a system/distro, you've to compile the kernel separately (after you
configure it using menuconfig or xconfig or ...), then you've to build your
file system starting with compiling BusyBox & the rest of the system
components.

As you can see in the attached screenshots, configuring the kernel is
totally different than configuring BusyBox.
