Once an initial configuration has been set up, we can proceed to set up further run time environments. This is done by invoking
newbtconf with the name of the new configuration to be created. By default, this step will use the current configuration files as the basis for this setup unless a second parameter is given - that of the configuration to use as the basis for the new one. Upon completion, a new directory,
/etc/etc.<newname>, will have been created, priming the directory with the appropriate files for editing. For example, if we do
newbtconf nonet network it would create a directory named
/etc/etc.nonet and copy all the files from
/etc/etc.network into that directory. Upon rebooting, we should see:
[network] nonet
Which configuration [network] ?
To set up the system for booting into the “nonet” configuration, the files in
/etc/etc.nonet need be edited.
If you wanted to make “nonet” the default configuration when booting, you would need delete the symbolic link
/etc/etc.default and create a new symbolic link (with the same name) to
/etc/etc.nonet. Booting up after having made such a change would result in the following being displayed:
network [nonet]
Which configuration [nonet] ?
