Go ahead, grab it, beat it up, give me suggestions, check my code (it was a quickie :b ) I did do my best to keep the same 'feel' as Digital Unix's "doconfig". Anybody else know of other OS's that use a 'doconfig'? Let me know what it needs. I also include 'autokernconf' which is called by 'doconfig' in the right situation. This program will startup an 'interactive' kernel config program (sorta like the perl Configure--it'll ask you a bunch of questions you have no clue about so most of the time you'll just use the defaults). However, for now, it just does a sed on the GENERIC kernel config and changes the ident. I already have a partially expanded autokernconf, but if anybody else has started on something of this sort perhaps we can collaborate? My experience with what each option means is rather limited... This aside.. You can get this alpha alpha 'doconfig' and 'autokernconf' at: ftp://ftp.cold.org/pub/brandon/doconfig.tar.gz After much internal strife I did end up coding it in perl4, and I must say..perl4 sucks :) -Brandon Gillespie
