Mike Frysinger 4876e817e0 README/INSTALL: refresh for the modern times
Drop all discussion of kernels older than Linux 2.6.  That was first
released ~16 years ago at this point, so we probably don't need to
cater to Linux 2.4 users (last release 10 years ago) or Linux 2.2 or
2.0 users (last releases 16 years ago).

Drop all discussion of glibc versions.  The glibc 2.0/2.2 and libc5
stuff happened so long ago that new users have no idea what they
mean.  Lets focus on modern topics like being "POSIX compliant".

INSTALLING
Please read the file `README' before you start with the installation of the
net-tools.
HACKERS WAY
-----------
cd /usr/src ; tar xvzf net-tools*.tar.gz
less Makefile ; make config ; make ; make -n install ; make install
CONFIGURE
---------
First of all, change into the net-tools directory.
Before you start with the Installation please have a look into the toplevel
Makefile. There are some configuration options with explanations.
To configure the compilation use "make config". The default answers should
be safe for all configurations.
COMPILE
-------
To compile simply use "make".
There should be no warnings or errors.
INSTALLATION
------------
If you want to install the binaries use "make install".
To change the default permissions and ownerships of the installed binaries and
manpages edit the Makefile. You can test the installation with "make -n install".
This will tell make: Don't run any commands, just print them.
