|  | You can say N here if you don't intend to connect your Linux box to | 
|  | any other computer at all. | 
|  |  | 
|  | You'll have to say Y if your computer contains a network card that | 
|  | you want to use under Linux. If you are going to run SLIP or PPP over | 
|  | telephone line or null modem cable you need say Y here. Connecting | 
|  | two machines with parallel ports using PLIP needs this, as well as | 
|  | AX.25/KISS for sending Internet traffic over amateur radio links. |

|  | If you use SLIP or PPP, you might want to say Y here. Since this | 
|  | thing often comes in handy, the default is Y. It won't enlarge your |

|  | SLIP (the protocol for sending Internet traffic over telephone | 
|  | lines) or PPP (a better SLIP) on them, you can make them behave like |
