+will be just in fine in the majority of the cases. What you are asked here
+are a bunch of questions relating to the kind of network protocols that you
+have enabled in your kernel.</para>
+
+<para>The default answers will enable the tools from this package to work
+with the most common protocols such as TCP, PPP and a bunch of others. You
+still need to actually enable these protocols in the kernel. What you do
+here is merely telling the programs to be able to use those protocols but
+it's up to the kernel to make it available to the system.</para>
