| 18 | <para>If you don't know what to answer to all the questions asked during the
|

| 19 | <userinput>make config</userinput> phase below, then just accept the defaults.
|
---|
| 20 | This will be just fine in the majority of cases. What you're asked here is a
|
---|
| 21 | bunch of questions about which network protocols you've enabled in your
|
---|
| 22 | kernel. The default answers will enable the tools from this package to work
|
---|
| 23 | with the most common protocols: TCP, PPP, and several others. You still need
|
---|
| 24 | to actually enable these protocols in the kernel -- what you do here is merely
|
---|
| 25 | telling the package to include support for those protocols in its programs,
|
---|
| 26 | but it's up to the kernel to make the protocols available.</para>
