<title>Installation of <application>Net-tools</application></title>
|
|
|
|
<note><para>The <application>Net-tools</application> package installs a
|
|
<command>hostname</command> program which will overwrite the existing program
|
|
installed by <application>Coreutils</application> during a base
|
|
<acronym>LFS</acronym> installation. If, for whatever reason, you need to
|
|
reinstall the <application>Coreutils</application> package after installing
|
|
<application>Net-tools</application>, you should use the
|
|
<filename>coreutils-&lfs-coreutils-version;-suppress_hostname_uptime_kill_su-1.patch</filename>
|
|
patch if you wish to preserve the <application>Net-tools</application>
|
|
<command>hostname</command> program.</para></note>
|
|
|
|
<para>If you don't know what to answer to all the questions asked during
|
|
the <command>make config</command> phase below, then just accept the
|
|
defaults (the build command below automates this). 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:
|
|
<acronym>TCP</acronym>, <acronym>PPP</acronym>, and several others. You
|
|
still need to actually enable these protocols in the kernel—what you
|
|
do here is merely telling the package to include support for those
|
|
protocols in its programs, but it's up to the kernel to make the
|
|
protocols available.</para>
