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