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'.
