Hi,
We are running Digital Unix 3.2D-1.
I read the section about kernel rebuild in the administration manual and
I'm not sure that I fully understood the differences between the 'doconfig'
and 'doconfig -c' commands.
When they say that doconfig (without options) will create a new
configuration file, will this file include the options that are currently
in the actual configuration file ?
Also, suppose I have some options (Like LSM) in my actual config file and I
add new hardware and reboot with the generic kernel. If I do a doconfig -c
SYSTEMNAME, will the previous options + the new hardware be included in the
resulting config file + kernel ?
I have another task at hand: I once removed LSM from my system and then
reinstalled it, it says in the manual that a kernel rebuild is needed for
the system to support LSM. My current configuration file includes various
custom options (Ex.: ppp) and I also added entries for HSZ40 devices that
do not get automatically discovered by the generic kernel. Should I use
doconfig or doconfig -c ? Do I have to boot with the generic kernel to have
LSM support in the new kernel or can I just recompile the actuel kernel ?
TIA
