newunix(1M)                                           newunix(1M)



NAME
     newunix  -  manipulates  the  files   that   determine   the
     configuration of a new kernel

SYNOPSIS
     newunix [[no]module]...

ARGUMENTS
     module
          Specifies the name of a module whose associated files
          are to be copied to the directories that autoconfig
          searches.  You can use these values for module; third-
          party vendors may provide additional values:

          appletalk
               Copies the files that provide AppleTalk support.
               To remove this module, use noappletalk.

          bnet Copies the files that provide Berkeley Networking
               Services (TCP/IP) networking support.  To remove
               this module, use nonet rather than the expected
               nobnet.

          nfs  Copies the files that provide Network File System
               (NFS) support.  To remove this module, use nonet
               rather than the expected nonfs.

          cslip
               Copies the files that provide Compressed Serial
               Line/Internet Protocol (CSL/IP) support.  To
               remove this module, use nocslip.

          tc   Copies the files that provide Apple Tape Backup
               40SC support.  To remove this module, use notc.

          toolbox
               Copies the files that provide support for the A/UX
               Toolbox.  To remove this module, use notoolbox.

     nomodule
          Specifies the name of a module whose associated files
          are to be removed from the directories that autoconfig
          searches. With the exception of two values for module,
          preceding module by no removes the module. The
          exceptions are nobnet and nonfs, which newunix does not
          accept. Use nonet instead.

DESCRIPTION
     newunix copies files to or removes files from the
     directories that autoconfig searches to make a new kernel.
     Typically, newunix is run by newconfig, but you can run
     newunix directly.  When you run newunix directly, you should

newunix(1M)                                           newunix(1M)



     next run autoconfig, kconfig (optionally), and sync to
     complete the kernel-configuration process.

     Note that if you use newunix to copy a module and the module
     is already present in the directories that autoconfig
     searches, newunix simply copies the files again.  If you use
     newunix to remove a module and the module is not present in
     the directories that autoconfig searches, newunix does not
     display any error messages.

EXAMPLES
     The following command copies the nfs and the tc modules and
     their associated files to the directories that autoconfig
     searches:

        newunix nfs tc

     The following command makes a kernel based on the current
     contents of the directories that autoconfig searches:

        autoconfig -I -S /etc/startup

     See autoconfig(1M) for complete details on running
     autoconfig.

     The following command removes the tc module and its
     associated files from the directories that autoconfig
     searches:

        newunix notc


FILES
     /etc/boot.d/*
          Files for each of the kernel modules
     /etc/init.d/*
          Files containing initialization scripts invoked by
          autoconfig
     /etc/install.d/*
          Directories containing various files needed to build a
          kernel
     /etc/master.d/*
          Files that tell autoconfig how to link the modules
     /etc/newunix
          Executable file
     /etc/startup.d/*
          Files containing scripts that /etc/startup runs each
          time the system is restarted
     /etc/uninstall.d/*
          Files containing scripts that newunix calls to remove
          files from the directories that autoconfig searches
