- <title>Installation of Net-tools</title>
- <para>If you don't know what to answer to all the questions asked during
- the <userinput>make</userinput> phase, then just accept the defaults, which
- will be just fine in the majority of the cases. What you are asked here
- are a bunch of questions relating to the kind of network protocols that you
- have enabled in your kernel.</para>
- <para>The default answers will enable the tools from this package to work
- with the most common protocols such as TCP, PPP and a bunch of others. You
- still need to actually enable these protocols in the kernel. What you do
- here is merely telling the programs to be able to use those protocols, but
- it's up to the kernel to make them available to the system.</para>
- <para>Compile the package:</para>
- <para><screen><userinput>make</userinput></screen></para>
- <para>If you intend to accept the default settings, you may skip
- the questions generated by <emphasis>make</emphasis> by runing
- <userinput>yes "" | make</userinput> instead.</para>
- <para>Finish installing the package:</para>
- <para><screen><userinput>make update</userinput></screen></para>
- <para>The <emphasis>update</emphasis> option to <userinput>make</userinput>
- works similarly to the <emphasis>install</emphasis> option, with one
- exception: it doesn't make backups of files it's replacing.</para>
- <para>If you decide to reinstall this package at some point in the
- future, a <userinput>make update</userinput> won't backup all the files
- from a previous net-tools installation.</para>
