Well...it is not the "traditional" way of configuring runlevels. besides...I LIKE the sysvinit way of doing it with SymLinks Also...when I installed file-rc (accidently) a while back...it completle fucked my system. It wasn't properly unmounting filesystems on reboot. When I found it was doing this I set out to find out why (not even knowing that file-rc was installed)...lost the whole filesystem.

Is this perhaps fixed in Hamm? I dunno....I would NOT want to see this become the default... I think it is allot less flexible than sysvinit. if you like it...go on ahead...whatever floats your boat -Steve -- /* -- Stephen Carpenter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>------------ */ E-mail "Bumper Stickers": "A FREE America or a Drug-Free America: You can't have both!"
