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

111 | for your system, skip the <command>yes</command> command and answer
|
---|
112 | each question interactively. The minimum needed options are 'UNIX
|

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