I thought there was a tool that just lists the contents. Things is, I'm not sure what I would be looking at. I figure the contents of some of the files is more important than whether it is there or not. I guess. I have a bad history with these init thingys. It was one reason I switched to Gentoo. Keep in mind, I switched way back in 2003 when it was rare that a init thingy was needed in Gentoo. It seems someone screwed that up. Anyway. I try to keep a few fall back plans around. Spare kernels etc. ;-) Dale :-) :-)
