<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>
