Sorry, Allan, I've read your email few days ago at work, but forgot to reply. :-/ I think the main problems with initscripts is that many bugs/features require lots of work and testing in many configurations to be fixed/implemented, Help from everyone is really appreciated. Currently I'm testing some changes in the locale configuration area, which may close 2 reports, but other than that I cannot say for sure if/when I can take a look at others, at least until holidays. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
