In which order, and which > configuration files are incorporated in the boot process? /etc/rc.boot - that is, if you mean for your local system. Packages should use /etc/rcS.d, but the last time it came up we all agreed that /etc/rc.boot should be local sysadmin territory. Put a script in there and it will be run. I believe the order is processed in ascending ASCII order intentionally, so plan accordingly if you need something to happen first and something else to happen later. This may be a side-effect of ext2, but I don't believe so. -- Joseph Carter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GnuPG key 1024D/DCF9DAB3 Debian GNU/Linux (http://www.debian.org/) 20F6 2261 F185 7A3E 79FC The QuakeForge Project (http://quakeforge.net/) 44F9 8FF7 D7A3 DCF9 DAB3 <Knghtbrd> mariab - I am a Debian developer. Red Hat is "the enemy" or something like that I guess.. Still, typecasting RH users as idiots or their distribution as completely broken by default is complete and total FUD. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
