1998.06.29 What is it? ----------- This utility is taken almost in its entirety from /stand/sysinstall. It allows to gather device configuration which possibly was changed in userconfig (-c) session, and to save it to /kernel.config file on startup floppy, so that when user boots next time, the settings will automatically be changed. How can I use it? ----------------- The best way is to call it from /etc/rc in such phase when the startup floppy is mounted, and redirect its output to /kernel.config on the floppy. NOTE: You need first to create symbols' list, using 'dumpnlist' utility, and place it in /stand/symbols. Usage is straightforward: kget -incore|kernel_name output_filename [vanilla] In simplest form you can do kget -incore - to list current in core parameters, or kget kernel_file - to see settings of another kernel. or kget -incore - /stand/vanilla to produce list of changes from 'vanilla' configuration. You can redirect this list to /kernel.config file with no changes - it already contains required keywords. Credits go to Jordan K. Hubbard for 95% of this code. The rest is mine :-) Andrzej Bialecki $Id: README,v 1.1.1.1 1998/08/27 17:38:45 abial Exp $
