So, the following is better: # Move obsolete init scripts out of the way if they're present if [ -f /etc/init.d/devpts.sh ] chmod ugo-x /etc/init.d/devpts.sh mv /etc/init.d/devpts.sh /etc/init.d/devpts.sh.dpkg-old fi if [ -f /etc/init.d/mountkernfs ] chmod ugo-x /etc/init.d/mountkernfs mv /etc/init.d/mountkernfs /etc/init.d/mountkernfs.dpkg-old fi rm -f /etc/rcS.d/S35devpts.sh /etc/rcS.d/S35mountkernfs rm -f /etc/rcS.d/K35devpts.sh /etc/rcS.d/K35mountkernfs -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
