net-tools installation change

Description

Right now the book uses "make install" to install net-tools. However this creates backups of all binaries installed (a quite unusual behaviour, unique to this package's install). Among them is the hostname.old which the LFS book mentions. If you reinstall the net-tools package with the chapter 6 instructions you end up with lots of .old files. I suggest replacing "make install" with "make update" which has the same functionality but does not create backups.
