CONFIG_NF_CT_ACCT is deprecated and will be removed soon. Please use nf_conntrack.acct=1 kernel parameter, acct=1 nf_conntrack module option or sysctl net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_acct=1 to enable it.

CONFIG_NF_CT_ACCT: Connection tracking flow accounting
If this option is enabled, the connection tracking code will keep per-flow packet and byte counters.
Those counters can be used for flow-based accounting or the `connbytes' match.
Please note that currently this option only sets a default state. You may change it at boot time with nf_conntrack.acct=0/1 kernel parameter or by loading the nf_conntrack module with acct=0/1.
You may also disable/enable it on a running system with: sysctl net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_acct=0/1
This option will be removed in 2.6.29.
If unsure, say `N'.

i am "unsure" out of sheer ignorance. Why would i EVER want/need/use "flow-based accounting or the `connbytes' match"?? If i don't know what this means, is it safe to say i will not need it?
Additionally, what steps do i take to "
change it at boot time with nf_conntrack.acct=0/1
kernel parameter or by loading the nf_conntrack module with acct=0/1"???
