I, on the other hand, always use it the very first time I bring a system up! It gives me a chance to check it out, make some last minute mods that may be needed for that particular box or how I intend using it, before runlevel 3 wants the world at its feet. > We are using the files in /etc/rc.d/rcS.d to initialize the system > regardless of run level.

My question though was _why_ LFS chose rcS.d, inviting that confusion, when rcsysinit.d always worked just fine. Is there some future requirement for rcS.d, or something? -- Paul Rogers [email protected] Rogers' Second Law: "Everything you do communicates."
