11 You can say N here if you don't intend to connect your Linux box to
12 any other computer at all.

15 you want to use under Linux. If you are going to run SLIP or PPP over
16 telephone line or null modem cable you need say Y here. Connecting
17 two machines with parallel ports using PLIP needs this, as well as

181 Ethernet (also called IEEE 802.3 or ISO 8802-2) is the most common
182 type of Local Area Network (LAN) in universities and companies.
183
184 Common varieties of Ethernet are: 10BASE-2 or Thinnet (10 Mbps over
185 coaxial cable, linking computers in a chain), 10BASE-T or twisted
186 pair (10 Mbps over twisted pair cable, linking computers to central
187 hubs), 10BASE-F (10 Mbps over optical fiber links, using hubs),
188 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps over two twisted pair cables, using hubs),
189 100BASE-T4 (100 Mbps over 4 standard voice-grade twisted pair
190 cables, using hubs), 100BASE-FX (100 Mbps over optical fiber links)
191 [the 100BASE varieties are also known as Fast Ethernet], and Gigabit
192 Ethernet (1 Gbps over optical fiber or short copper links).
193
194 If your Linux machine will be connected to an Ethernet and you have
195 an Ethernet network interface card (NIC) installed in your computer,
196 say Y here and read the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from
197 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. You will then also have
198 to say Y to the driver for your particular NIC.

2781 PLIP (Parallel Line Internet Protocol) is used to create a
2782 reasonably fast mini network consisting of two (or, rarely, more)
2783 local machines. A PLIP link from a Linux box is a popular means to
2784 install a Linux distribution on a machine which doesn't have a
2785 CD-ROM drive (a minimal system has to be transferred with floppies
2786 first). The kernels on both machines need to have this PLIP option
2787 enabled for this to work.
2788
2789 The PLIP driver has two modes, mode 0 and mode 1. The parallel
2790 ports (the connectors at the computers with 25 holes) are connected
2791 with "null printer" or "Turbo Laplink" cables which can transmit 4
2792 bits at a time (mode 0) or with special PLIP cables, to be used on
2793 bidirectional parallel ports only, which can transmit 8 bits at a
2794 time (mode 1); you can find the wiring of these cables in
2795 <file:Documentation/networking/PLIP.txt>. The cables can be up to
2796 15m long. Mode 0 works also if one of the machines runs DOS/Windows
2797 and has some PLIP software installed, e.g. the Crynwr PLIP packet
2798 driver (<http://oak.oakland.edu/simtel.net/msdos/pktdrvr-pre.html>)

2977 Say Y if you intend to use SLIP or CSLIP (compressed SLIP) to
2978 connect to your Internet service provider or to connect to some
2979 other local Unix box or if you want to configure your Linux box as a
2980 Slip/CSlip server for other people to dial in. SLIP (Serial Line
2981 Internet Protocol) is a protocol used to send Internet traffic over
2982 serial connections such as telephone lines or null modem cables;
2983 nowadays, the protocol PPP is more commonly used for this same
2984 purpose.
2985
2986 Normally, your access provider has to support SLIP in order for you
2987 to be able to use it, but there is now a SLIP emulator called SLiRP
2988 around (available from
2989 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
2990 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection. If
2991 you plan to use SLiRP, make sure to say Y to CSLIP, below. The
2992 NET-3-HOWTO, available from
2993 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to
2994 configure SLIP. Note that you don't need this option if you just
2995 want to run term (term is a program which gives you almost full
2996 Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up shell account on
2997 some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
2998 <http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>). SLIP
2999 support will enlarge your kernel by about 4 KB. If unsure, say N.

3009 This protocol is faster than SLIP because it uses compression on the
3010 TCP/IP headers (not on the data itself), but it has to be supported
3011 on both ends. Ask your access provider if you are not sure and
3012 answer Y, just in case. You will still be able to use plain SLIP. If
3013 you plan to use SLiRP, the SLIP emulator (available from
3014 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/>) which
3015 allows you to use SLIP over a regular dial up shell connection, you
3016 definitely want to say Y here. The NET-3-HOWTO, available from
3017 <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, explains how to configure
3018 CSLIP. This won't enlarge your kernel.

3038 Just occasionally you may need to run IP over hostile serial
3039 networks that don't pass all control characters or are only seven
3040 bit. Saying Y here adds an extra mode you can use with SLIP:
3041 "slip6". In this mode, SLIP will only send normal ASCII symbols over
3042 the serial device. Naturally, this has to be supported at the other
3043 end of the link as well. It's good enough, for example, to run IP
3044 over the async ports of a Camtec JNT Pad. If unsure, say N.

3050 Fibre Channel is a high speed serial protocol mainly used to connect
3051 large storage devices to the computer; it is compatible with and
3052 intended to replace SCSI.
3053
3054 If you intend to use Fibre Channel, you need to have a Fibre channel
3055 adaptor card in your computer; say Y here and to the driver for your
3056 adaptor below. You also should have said Y to "SCSI support" and
3057 "SCSI generic support".
