- Readme instructions for installing PPP drivers on 386BSD 0.1 systems.
-
- These instructions and the accompanying software are current for 386BSD 0.1,
- patchkit 0.2.1.
-
- Manifest:
- see the file MANIFEST for a complete list of files.
-
- Files with ()'s after them should be copied to the indicated directory
- for installation.
-
- README.386bsd - this file
- 386bsd/ - dir with patches and original files
-
- Installation instructions:
-
- 1. Make the local applications
-
- make all
-
- 2. Install the new kernel files.
-
- make install.386bsd
-
- 3. Patch or Install the old files. To patch try
-
- make patch.386bsd
-
- If the patches fail you can use the original files. The safest thing
- is to
-
- make copy.386bsd
-
- which will preserve the original files in "*.pre-ppp". This will make
- rolling out the files easier if you have problems. The script should be
- safe to run multiple times as it preserves any exsiting "*.pre-ppp"
- files.
-
- 2. Add a line of the form `pseudo-device ppp <n>' to the configuration
- file of the system you wish to add the serial line driver to. the
- value <n> should be the number of serial lines you plan on using for
- ppp/ip/tcp connections. By default, <n> is one (i.e. if you simply
- add the line "pseudo-device ppp" to your kernel config file, you'll
- get one ppp interface)
-
- 3. Generate a new kernel through the usual steps (see `Building
- Berkeley Kernels with Config' by Leffler and Karels if you are not
- familiar with this procedure).
