net-tools INSTALLING Please read the file `README' before you start with the installation of the net-tools. HACKERS WAY ----------- cd /usr/src ; tar xvzf net-tools*.tar.gz less Makefile ; make config ; make ; make -n install ; make install CONFIGURE --------- First of all change into the net-tools directory. Before you start with the Installation please have a look into the toplevel Makefile. There are some configuration options with explanations. To configure the compilation use "make config". The default answers should be safe for all configurations. If you have kernel 2.2 and glibc 2.1 most of the other options should work as well. COMPILE ------- To compile simply use "make". There should be no warnings or errors. INSTALLATION ------------ If you want to install the binaries use "make install". This will generate backups of your old binaries. If you dont want the backups, please use "make update" instead. To change the default permissions and ownerships of the installed binaries and manpages edit the Makefile. You can test the Installation with "make -n install". This will tell make: Don't run any commands, just print them. Bernd 'eckes' Eckenfels
