Note that A/UX 2.0 has TWO different partial kernels called newunix. The one in root (/newunix) is used only for booting when autoconfiguration is needed. Unlike A/UX 2.0, it is NOT used in building the new kernel. The new kernel is built from /etc/config.d/newunix, and this is the one you need to kconfig if you want changes to stick... Mind you, SLICE might still get tweaked by something else. -- William Roberts ARPA: liam@cs.qmw.ac.uk Queen Mary & Westfield College UUCP: liam@qmw-cs.UUCP Mile End Road AppleLink: UK0087 LONDON, E1 4NS, UK Tel: 071-975 5250 (Fax: 081-980 6533)
