| 87 | The instructions below automate the configuration process by piping
|
|---|
| 88 | <command>yes</command> to the <command>make</command> command.
|
|---|
| 89 | If you wish to run the interactive configuration process (by changing
|
|---|
| 90 | the instruction to just <command>make</command>), but you are
|
|---|
| 91 | not sure how to answer all the questions, then just accept the defaults.
|
|---|
| 92 | This will be just fine in the majority of cases. What you're asked here
|
|---|
| 93 | is a bunch of questions about which network protocols you've enabled
|
|---|
| 94 | in your kernel. The default answers will enable the tools from this
|
|---|
| 95 | package to work with the most common protocols: TCP, PPP, and several
|
|---|
| 96 | others. You still need to actually enable these protocols in the
|
|---|
| 97 | kernel—what you do here is merely tell the package to include
|
|---|
| 98 | support for those protocols in its programs, but it's up to the kernel
|
|---|
| 99 | to make the protocols available.

|
|---|
| 107 | each question interactively. The minimum needed options are 'UNIX

| 108 | protocol family' and 'INET (TCP/IP) protocol family'.
