DESCRIPTION

These programs help maintain a file system on a local disk for a private machine. 

­Home partitions a disk, copies the appropriate kernel to the disk, and makes a new file system on the disk.  40meg, 80meg, and ­100meg configure disks and make file systems for disks of the appropriate size. 

­Update copies the current kernel to the disk and updates files on the local file system.  It only updates those files put there by the ­home program. 

­Personalize removes the contents of the ­/usr directory on the local disk and copies a minimal set of files for the user who runs the command. 

­Newkernel updates the kernel in the boot partition.  If the running kernel was linked more than 10 minutes before the kernel on the file system was installed, ­newkernel verifies with the user that the kernel should be installed, and copies the kernel. 

­Disclabel is the bootstrap program copied into the partition ­/dev/hd1label on Nextstations.
