[b51fe6e] | 91 | If you wish to run the interactive configuration process (by changing

[a3b94fc] | 92 | the instruction to just <command>make</command>), but you are

[b51fe6e] | 93 | not sure how to answer all the questions, then just accept the defaults.
|
---|
| 94 | This will be just fine in the majority of cases. What you're asked here
|
---|
| 95 | is a bunch of questions about which network protocols you've enabled
|
---|
| 96 | in your kernel. The default answers will enable the tools from this
|
---|
| 97 | package to work with the most common protocols: TCP, PPP, and several
|
---|
| 98 | others. You still need to actually enable these protocols in the
|
---|
| 99 | kernel—what you do here is merely tell the package to include
|

| 100 | support for those protocols in its programs, but it's up to the kernel

| 101 | to make the protocols available.
