Modify kget so that it checks /boot/loader.rc, and if it cannot find // a 'load -t userconfig_script', it appends such line to it. Ugly and // not obvious. // // 2. Modify the default configuration, i.e. /boot/loader.rc. Those who // will use the new /etc/rc will also use the new /boot/loader.rc PLEASE NO !!! That's what I hate most in M$ products. They try to be smarter than the user, and do the wrong thing most of the time. If none of the default configurations do this, no problem. Let the next ones do. If some user wants this right now, then he must be the one to edit his own rc.* and loader scripts. I'll probably do this myself. I prefer kget to write a private file. If it's possible to load two or more userconfig_script's, then even better. One only for kget changes, and another for local fixed configuration (pnp, for example). Also, would these changes be done in a kernel dependent form ? The old dset utility did write in the kernel, so if I had more than one kernel to chose to boot, no problem. Each one had its own config. Jonny -- Joao Carlos Mendes Luis M.Sc. Student jonny@jonny.eng.br Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro "This .sig is not meant to be politically correct."
