This is the base package for Linux DECnet. It contains the necessary
configuration files and a script to set up the MAC address of your
Ethernet card(s) at boot-up.
.
You will also need to be running a 2.4+ kernel and have DECnet either
built as a module or compiled into the kernel.
.
To do useful work with DECnet you will need the libdnet package and
probably also dnet-progs.
