Example configuration files are constructed +and discussed. +.PP +Later sections suggest guidelines to be used in modifying +system source and explain some of the inner workings of the +autoconfiguration process. Appendix D summarizes the rules +used in calculating the most important system data structures +and indicates some inherent system data structure size +limitations (and how to go about modifying them). |
