Don't get me wrong; I enjoyed DOS thoroughly. It was that I bought
a Packard Bell that I had bad experiences. ;)

When I was in high school, one of the teachers found an ancient
laptop that ran CP/M. It ran off of C cell batteries. Very nice
indeed, I enjoyed Wordstar on it, and took notes in classes with
it. One day, in Biology class, I noticed the room seemed to be a
bit hazy. I also noticed that emenating from my backpack seemed
to be smoke - actually, I just noticed that it was more
concentrated there. I took out the laptop, and although I didn't
see any smoke coming from it, pieces were melted, and the
batteries were excessively hot.
That was the end of that. Too bad, it was nice.

Yep, I just didn't feel like explaining the whole thing. :)

You misunderstood what we were talking about, due to laziness
on our part. We were speaking of
/etc/rc.d/
vs.
/etc/init.d/ + /etc/rc0.d/ + /etc/rc1.d/...->/etc/rc6.d/,
not of the binary /sbin/init.
I'd swear that you or somebody else did a package or some such for
this only a few months ago.
