As great as this all is: 1) it isn't upstream yet, so you're forcing a patched package (which we don't like to do) 2) it requires every custom kernel to match the Arch default level of 4 for initscripts output to not look like ass So I'm all for the upstream patch, but I'm not so sold on the removal of this from initscripts. We're breaking a lot of established setups here. -Dan
