NAME
newconfig - prepare and configure a new kernel
SYNOPSIS
/ etc/newconfig [-v] [nonet] [module ] ... [ nomodule ] ...
DESCRIPTION
newconfig is an A/UX® shell script that invokes the necessary
commands to generate a new kernel. newconfig begins by calling
newunix(IM) to install or remove the appropriate scripts
and driver object files needed by autoconfig(IM). newconfig
then invokes autoconfig to link the new kernel. The autoconfig
scripts may ask the user for system options. Finally,
newconfig invokes the shell script / etc/ startup, which is
produced by autoconfig. / etc/ startup asks the user for
any additional system configuration information. The new
configuration does not take effect until the user reboots the system.
newconfig interprets the following flag option:
-v Causes newconfig to display its commands as they are invoked
and to invoke those commands verbosely.
The keyword nonet causes the removal of TCP/IP networking
capabilities.
Specification of module causes the named module to be configured
in the resulting kernel, while nomodule causes the named module
to be removed from the resulting kernel. The placeholder module
is case-insensitive. More than one module can be specified on the
command line. The modules listed below are supported by Apple®.
Third-party vendors may provide additional modules.
appletalk
AppleTalk® networking capabilities that include both Local­
Talk and EtherTalk.
bnet
