| 93 | The instructions below automate the configuration process by piping
|
|---|
| 94 | <command>yes</command> to the <command>make config</command> command.
|
|---|
| 95 | If you wish to run the interactive configuration process (by changing
|
|---|
| 96 | the instruction to just <command>make config</command>), but you are
|
|---|
| 97 | not sure how to answer all the questions, then just accept the defaults.
|
|---|
| 98 | This will be just fine in the majority of cases. What you're asked here
|
|---|
| 99 | is a bunch of questions about which network protocols you've enabled
|
|---|
| 100 | in your kernel. The default answers will enable the tools from this
|
|---|
| 101 | package to work with the most common protocols: TCP, PPP, and several
|
|---|
| 102 | others. You still need to actually enable these protocols in the
|
|---|
| 103 | kernel—what you do here is merely tell the package to include
|
|---|
| 104 | support for those protocols in its programs, but it's up to the kernel
|
|---|
| 105 | to make the protocols available.
