6 | <para>If you don't know what to answer to all the questions asked during
|
---|
7 | the <userinput>make</userinput> phase, then just accept the defaults, which
|
---|
8 | will be just fine in the majority of the cases. What you are asked here
|
---|
9 | are a bunch of questions relating to the kind of network protocols that you
|
---|
10 | have enabled in your kernel.</para>
|
---|
11 |
|
---|
12 | <para>The default answers will enable the tools from this package to work
|
---|
13 | with the most common protocols such as TCP, PPP and a bunch of others. You
|
---|
14 | still need to actually enable these protocols in the kernel. What you do
|
---|
15 | here is merely telling the programs to be able to use those protocols, but
|
---|
16 | it's up to the kernel to make them available to the system.</para>

30 | <para>The <emphasis>update</emphasis> option to <userinput>make</userinput>
|
---|
31 | works similarly to the <emphasis>install</emphasis> option, with one
|
---|
32 | exception: it doesn't make backups of files it's replacing.</para>

33 |
|
---|
34 | <para>If you decide to reinstall this package at some point in the
|
---|
35 | future, a <userinput>make update</userinput> won't backup all the files
|
---|
36 | from a previous net-tools installation.</para>
