[0590c1b6] | 78 | <para>If you don't know what to answer to all the questions asked during

[c628659] | 80 | defaults (the build command below automates this). This will be just fine
|

| 81 | in the majority of cases. What you're
|
---|
[0590c1b6] | 82 | asked here is a bunch of questions about which network protocols you've
|
---|
| 83 | enabled in your kernel. The default answers will enable the tools from
|
---|
| 84 | this package to work with the most common protocols:
|
---|
| 85 | <acronym>TCP</acronym>, <acronym>PPP</acronym>, and several others. You
|
---|
| 86 | still need to actually enable these protocols in the kernel—what you
|
---|
| 87 | do here is merely telling the package to include support for those
|
---|
| 88 | protocols in its programs, but it's up to the kernel to make the
|
---|
| 89 | protocols available.</para>
