Estimated build time: &inetutils-time; Estimated required disk space: &inetutils-compsize; &aa-inetutils-shortdesc; &aa-inetutils-desc;   Prepare Inetutils for compilation: ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-syslogd \     --libexecdir=/usr/sbin --disable-logger \     --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var \     --disable-whois --disable-servers The meaning of the configure options: --disable-syslogd: This option prevents inetutils from installing the System Log Daemon, which is installed with the Sysklogd package. --disable-logger: This option prevents inetutils from installing the logger program, which is used by scripts to pass messages to the System Log Daemon. We do not install it because Util-linux installs a better version later. --disable-whois: This option disables the building of the inetutils whois client, which is woefully out of date. Instructions for a better whois client are in the BLFS book. --disable-servers: This disables the installation of the various network servers included as part of the Inetutils package. These servers are deemed not appropriate in a basic LFS system. Some are insecure by nature and are only considered safe on trusted networks. More information can be found at . Note that better replacements are available for many of these servers. Compile the package: make Install it: make install And move the ping program to its proper place: mv /usr/bin/ping /bin
