nothing is a default part of installation. *you* decide what you want to
install. at best, certain packages are marked as 'required'. but you can
still choose not to install those, if you so wish.

the TCP/IP protocol is part of the kernel, and it's certainly compiled into
the stock kernels that come with slackware. all i can think of is there is
a tcpip package in the n series, which may or may not be what is
missing. it provides TCP/IP utilities.

Slackware doesn't have any quirks. Other distros have quirks. Slackware's
just pure Linux.
