Hello,
I'm writing a document describing the boot methods for the severals distributions. I've different informations, please help me: In the Debian FAQ last version (http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/debian-faq-12.html#ss12.5) it is written "The configuration file for init (which is /etc/inittab) specifies that the first script to be executed should be /etc/init.d/rcS". A older version of this FAQ (aug-96, see http://129.125.102.126/~erik/debian/debian-faq-11.html) tell: "The configuration file for init (which is /etc/inittab) specifies that the first script to be executed should be /etc/init.d/boot" In another (paper) document, I read it is the file "/etc/rc.d/rc.S". Then, 3 documents, with 3 filenames and 3 directories. Could you help me to: - choose the right versions - tell me more: from which Debian version it has changed - is /etc/init.d/boot the old name of rcS ? Thx for your help. Congratulation for your work. Vincent Vangoethem. Belgium.
