## Installation of Lfs-Utils

Compile the package:

    make

And install it:

    make install

Now copy two supporting files included in the Lfs-Utils tarball to their destination:

    cp etc/{services,protocols} /etc

The `/etc/services` file is used to resolve service numbers to human-readable names, and the `/etc/protocols` does the same for protocol numbers.
