     NAME
          newunix - prepare for new kernel configuration

     SYNOPSIS
          /etc/newunix [[no]module] ...

     DESCRIPTION
          newunix is typically called by newconfig, but can also be
          used directly. However called, it begins the process of con-
          figuring a new kernel by installing (or removing) the ap-
          propriate scripts and driver object files needed by autocon-
          fig.  When you invoke it directly, you should run autoconfig
          afterwards to complete the kernel-configuration process.
          When you invoke it indirectly by running newconfig, autocon-
          fig is called automatically, making newconfig easier to use.

          The configuration of the new kernel is controlled by the ar-
          guments of module.  Multiple invocations of newunix can be
          used to accumulate the new kernel configuration or to remove
          previously established modules through the argument format
          of nomodule (a couple of exceptions are noted in the follow-
          ing).

          Possible values of module are:

               appletalk      Provide AppleTalk(Reg.) support.

               bnet           Use basic networking. To turn off basic
                              networking, use nonet rather than the
                              expected nobnet.

               nfs            Use the network file system (NFS).  To
                              turn off NFS support, use nonet rather
                              than the expected nonfs.

               slip           Provide support for the Serial
                              Line/Internet Protocol (SL/IP).

               tc             Provide support for the Apple(Reg.) Tape
                              Backup 40SC device.

               toolbox        Use the A/UX(Reg.) Toolbox.

     EXAMPLES
          To prepare the system for an NFS kernel, enter

             /etc/newunix nfs

          To prepare the system for a kernel that supports the tape
          controller, enter

             /etc/newunix tc

     newunix(1M)                                           newunix(1M)



          If, after requesting tape controller support, you decide to
          remove it, enter

             /etc/newunix notc

          The three preceding examples can also be considered one ex-
          ample of staging a new kernel configuration, where the last
          two module requested, tc and notc, canceled each other out.

          To proceed with the building of a new kernel for the
          currently accumulated configuration, run autoconfig as fol-
          lows:

             autoconfig -I -S /etc/startup

          See autoconfig(1M) for complete details on running
          autoconfig.  See newconfig(1M) for a more automatic way of
          preparing a new kernel configuartion.
