92 <application>Coreutils</application> package after installing
93 <application>Net-tools</application>, you should apply the
94 <filename>coreutils-&lfs-coreutils-version;-suppress_hostname-1.patch</filename>
95 patch (after the other patches) if you wish to preserve the
96 <application>Net-tools</application> <command>hostname</command>

104 instruction to just <command>make config</command>), but you are not sure
105 how to answer all the questions, then just accept the defaults. This will
106 be just fine in the majority of cases. What you're asked here is a bunch of
107 questions about which network protocols you've enabled in your kernel. The
108 default answers will enable the tools from this package to work with the
109 most common protocols: TCP, PPP, and several others. You still need to
110 actually enable these protocols in the kernel&mdash;what you do here is
111 merely tell the package to include support for those protocols in its
112 programs, but it's up to the kernel to make the protocols available.</para>
