Under other Linux distributions, these rcX.d directories are the locations for several startup scripts (for runlevel X). Under Gentoo, there are no such numbered runlevels, but named runlevels (for example "default"). So Gentoo's startup scripts are located unter /etc/runlevels/<runlevel>, which are symlinks to the scripts itself under /etc/init.d/<script>. So if a program asks you for those runlevels, you have to give a) the directory /etc/runlevels/<runlevel>, b) /etc/init.d or c) create directories under /etc/rcX.d, maybe with symlinks to /etc/init.d/<script> as well. HTH, Matthias ps: if you're using VMWare, then you only have to emerge it IIRC, the ebuild sets up these directories itself ... or was it the config. script? -- Matthias F.
