+<para>If you don't know what to answer to all the questions asked during the
+<command>make config</command> 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>
