Actually, it's good that it all happened as there was a
learning experience. And yes, your commit looks great.
Additionally in #1, not only would you edit the bootscripts
to "enhance the functionality or fix bugs", but it could
be that you needed to *add* a new bootscript for a new
package or whatever.

Feel free to commit the changes. And try to keep these
types of discussions on -dev (I cc'd this message). If you
needed a bit of help, you're probably not the only new
dev that didn't know it either.

Good job, Thomas. And thanks for doing it.
