.SH NAME
build \- build a full genix after booting mini system
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B /etc/build
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Build
is an interactive system meant to be run after
making a mini genix system on a new machine.
It is intended to make it easier for a person not
very familiar with unix to construct a full system.
At this writing the steps in 
.I build
are as follows:
.LP
.nf
	01  -  set terminal
	02  -  set the hardware clock
	03  -  read in genix root file system
	04  -  check consistency of root file system
	05  -  make devices
	06  -  create /vmsymbols
	07  -  write boot program in disk header
	08  -  create user and other file systems
	09  -  mount the file systems and write /etc/fstab
	10  -  make a backup unix on disk (optional)
	11  -  initialize user groups and write /etc/group
	12  -  set up user maintenance
	13  -  write /etc/passwd and test adding users
	14  -  write the /etc/rc file
	15  -  set up accounting and write /usr/lib/crontab
	16  -  create missing directories and set file modes

Some steps in
.I build
are hard to do automatically.
Thus the function of
.I build
is also to point out what needs to be done, and to
offer "educational" information to the system administrator.
.I Build
has extensive interactive help so the details need not
be described here.
