You can say N here if you don't intend to connect your Linux box to
any other computer at all or if all your connections will be over a
telephone line with a modem either via UUCP (UUCP is a protocol to
forward mail and news between unix hosts over telephone lines; read
the UUCP-HOWTO, available from
<http://www.linuxdoc.org/docs.html#howto>) or dialing up a shell
account or a BBS, even using term (term is a program which gives you
almost full Internet connectivity if you have a regular dial up
shell account on some Internet connected Unix computer. Read
<http://www.bart.nl/~patrickr/term-howto/Term-HOWTO.html>).
You'll have to say Y if your computer contains a network card that
you want to use under Linux (make sure you know its name because you
will be asked for it and read the Ethernet-HOWTO (especially if you
plan to use more than one network card under Linux)) or if you want
to use SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol is the protocol used to
send Internet traffic over telephone lines or null modem cables) or
CSLIP (compressed SLIP) or PPP (Point to Point Protocol, a better
and newer replacement for SLIP) or PLIP (Parallel Line Internet
Protocol is mainly used to create a mini network by connecting the
parallel ports of two local machines) or AX.25/KISS (protocol for
sending Internet traffic over amateur radio links).
Make sure to read the NET-3-HOWTO. Eventually, you will have to read
Olaf Kirch's excellent and free book "Network Administrator's
Guide", to be found in <http://www.linuxdoc.org/docs.html#guide>. If
unsure, say Y.
