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

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.

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

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
