<para id="net-tools-automate-example" xreflabel="Net-tools">The
|
|
instructions below automate the configuration process by piping
|
|
<command>yes</command> to the <command>make config</command> command. If
|
|
you wish to run the interactive configuration process (by changing the
|
|
instruction to just <command>make config</command>), but you are not sure
|
|
how to answer all the questions, then just accept the defaults. This will
|
|
be just fine in the majority of cases. What you're asked here is a bunch of
|
|
questions about which network protocols you've enabled in your kernel. The
|
|
default answers will enable the tools from this package to work with the
|
|
most common protocols: TCP, PPP, and several others. You still need to
|
|
actually enable these protocols in the kernel—what you do here is
|
|
merely tell the package to include support for those protocols in its
|
|
programs, but it's up to the kernel to make the protocols available.</para>
|
|
|
|
<note><para>This package has several unneeded protocols and hardware device
|
|
specific functions that are obsolete. To only build the minimum needed for
|
|
your system, skip the <command>yes</command> command and answer each
|
|
question interactively. The minimum needed options are 'UNIX protocol
|
|
family' and 'INET (TCP/IP) protocol family'.</para></note>
