     NAME
          newconfig - prepare and configure a new kernel

     SYNOPSIS
          /etc/newconfig [-v] [nonet] [ module ]...  [ nomodule ]...

     DESCRIPTION
          newconfig is an A/UX(Reg.) shell script that invokes the
          necessary commands to generate a new kernel.  newconfig be-
          gins by calling newunix(1M) to install or remove the ap-
          propriate scripts and driver object files needed by
          autoconfig(1M).  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 infor-
          mation.  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 con-
          figured 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(Reg.). Third-party ven-
          dors may provide additional modules.

          appletalk
               AppleTalk(Reg.) networking capabilities that include
               both LocalTalk and EtherTalk.

          bnet B-NET (Berkeley Networking) TCP/IP capabilities.

          nfs  Network file system (NFS) capabilities that automati-
               cally include B-NET.

          debugger
               A/UX kernel debugger support.

          slip Serial line/internet protocol (SL/IP) capabilities.

          snd  Enable use of the Macintosh sound chip.

          svfs System V file system (SVFS) capabilities.

          tc   Enable use of the Apple Tape Backup 40SC device.

          ufs  Berkeley 4.2 file system (UFS) capabilities.

          The following modules are usually included in conjunction
          with another module and are indirectly installed in or re-
          moved from the system.  Normally, these modules are not ex-
          plicitly specified by the user.

     EXAMPLES

          pleTalk networking services, type

             /etc/newconfig nfs appletalk

          To prepare a kernel that supports basic TCP/IP services, Ap-
          pleTalk networking, the Macintosh sound chip, and Apple Tape
          Backup 40SC device, type

             /etc/newconfig bnet appletalk snd tc
