 | 10 | 	  You can say N here if you don't intend to connect your Linux box to | 
 | 11 | 	  any other computer at all. | 
 | 12 |  | 
 | 13 | 	  You'll have to say Y if your computer contains a network card that | 
 | 14 | 	  you want to use under Linux. If you are going to run SLIP or PPP over | 
 | 15 | 	  telephone line or null modem cable you need say Y here. Connecting | 
 | 16 | 	  two machines with parallel ports using PLIP needs this, as well as | 
 | 17 | 	  AX.25/KISS for sending Internet traffic over amateur radio links. |

 | 42 | 	  Say 'Y' or 'M' if you wish to be able to 'bond' multiple Ethernet | 
 | 43 | 	  Channels together. This is called 'Etherchannel' by Cisco, | 
 | 44 | 	  'Trunking' by Sun, 802.3ad by the IEEE, and 'Bonding' in Linux. | 
 | 45 |  |

 | 58 | 	  This is essentially a bit-bucket device (i.e. traffic you send to | 
 | 59 | 	  this device is consigned into oblivion) with a configurable IP | 
 | 60 | 	  address. It is most commonly used in order to make your currently | 
 | 61 | 	  inactive SLIP address seem like a real address for local programs. | 
 | 62 | 	  If you use SLIP or PPP, you might want to say Y here. Since this | 
 | 63 | 	  thing often comes in handy, the default is Y. It won't enlarge your | 
 | 64 | 	  kernel either. What a deal. Read about it in the Network |

 | 79 | 	  SLIP (the protocol for sending Internet traffic over telephone | 
 | 80 | 	  lines) or PPP (a better SLIP) on them, you can make them behave like |
