Editing GNC Examples (section)

== Introduction to GNC ==
''Note: this page assumes knowledge of the GNC script process and it's commands and parameters. Please have a full understanding of the [[Groovix NetCustomization]] page before continuing.''


=== Starting a new GNC Script using the GNC template ===
When you are ready to make your own GNC update, run the following commands in an [[xterm]] window to create a copy of the gnc template: <font class="code">
<br>
cd /var/www/groovix/gnc/updates/[customer]/ 
<br>
gnc-new [updatename]
<br>
</font> where [customer] is your custom groovix version code  (GX_VERSION= in /etc/groovix/groovix.conf), and [updatename] is the name of your update. A directory will be created at this new location containing the gnc file necessary to run the update.

=== Using the gncget command ===
The directory structure inside each GNC update should be treated as if it is the / (root) directory. When the gncget command is used, it copies and replaces files in the GNC update directory in the same directories as the actual / (root) directory. For example, to replace the <font class="code">/etc/network/interfaces</font> file on a machine, create the interfaces file in a <font class="code">etc/network/</font> directory under your update directory and use the gncget command <font class="code">gncget --mod=644 /etc/network/interfaces</font>.


=== Using the apt-get command ===
* The <font class="code">groovix-auto-apt-get install</font> command is used to download a package and install it on a local machine. This command can also be used to upgrade an already existing program to the most recent version. 
* The <font class="code">groovix-auto-apt-get remove</font> command is used to remove a program on a local machine.
