<para>If you don't know what to answer to all the questions asked during the
|
|
<userinput>make config</userinput> phase below, then just accept the defaults.
|
|
This will be just fine in the majority of cases. What you're asked here is a
|
|
bunch of questions about which network protocols you've enabled in your
|
|
kernel. The default answers will enable the tools from this package to work
|
|
with the most common protocols: TCP, PPP, and several others. You still need
|
|
to actually enable these protocols in the kernel -- what you do here is merely
|
|
telling the package to include support for those protocols in its programs,
|
|
but it's up to the kernel to make the protocols available.</para>

|
|
<para>First fix a small syntax problem in the sources of the mii-tool
|
|
program:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>patch -Np1 -i ../&net-tools-mii-patch;</userinput></screen>
|

|

<para>Now prepare Net-tools for compilation with:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>make config</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>If you intend to accept the default settings, you may skip the
|
|
questions generated by <emphasis>make config</emphasis> by running
|
|
<userinput>yes "" | make config</userinput> instead.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Compile the package:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>make</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>And install it:</para>
