2 Installing PPP on an Ultrix system requires rebuilding the kernel and
3 rebooting, in addition to making and installing the pppd and chat
4 programs. These instructions apply to RISC (MIPS) systems. This
5 software should work under Ultrix 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4 (this release has
9 Kernel installation procedure.
10 ******************************
12 If you have not previously had an earlier version of this package
13 installed in the kernel, follow these steps:
17 2. Apply the patches in the file ultrix/patches using the command:
19 patch -p -N <ultrix/patches
21 This will edit the following files, saving the original versions in a
22 file with `.orig' appended to the name:
26 /usr/sys/net/net/netisr.h
27 /usr/sys/net/net/conf_net.c
28 /usr/sys/data/pseudo_data.c
29 /usr/sys/data/tty_conf_data.c
30 /usr/sys/conf/mips/files.mips
32 Alternatively, edit these files according to the differences shown in
35 3. Copy the following files to /sys/io/netif:
47 4. Add a line like this to the configuration file for your kernel:
51 The `2' indicates the number of interfaces desired. The configuration
52 file should be in /usr/sys/conf/mips.
54 5. Rebuild your kernel. The simplest way to do this is with the
55 `doconfig' command, like this:
57 /etc/doconfig -c kernel-name
59 where `kernel-name' should be replaced by the name of your kernel
60 configuration file. Alternatively, run config, cd to the compilation
61 directory, and run make.
63 6. Copy the new /vmunix to /. It would be a good idea to keep a copy
64 of your old /vmunix in / under a different name.
70 If you have ppp-2.2 already installed in your kernel, most files will
71 already have been modified as required. You will need to add some
72 entries to /usr/sys/conf/mips/files.mips. You can do this with a
73 command like this (as root):
75 patch -p -N <ultrix/upgrade
77 Alternatively, edit /usr/sys/conf/mips/files.mips according to the
78 differences shown in ultrix/upgrade.
80 Then, proceed with steps 3, 5, 6, 7 above (step 4 should have been
