Sys V init scripts are what Redhat, SuSe and Debian use, slackware 3.4 still
has shell scripts, you could indeed use Sys V init scripts, (unless i am
overlooking something here), as to problems arising from doing that i have
no idea, it would seem i am getting very interested in trying that myself
on a slackware system i have running here.
Basicly at boottime the inittab file is read and the "runlevel" is gained
from it, and then the file which is defined in /etc/inittab (normaly
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit) will be executed, disks mounted etc.
To give examples i will use runlevel 3, (which is the normal runlevel most
of us use), then the system will be started according to what symbolic links
are found in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d
The symbolic links point to /etc/rc.d/init.d/<script_name>
Editable system config files are found in /etc/sysconfig
If you want more spesific instrutions you could send me a personal mail, or
if you can obtain or even have a 6 pack cdrom from Info-Magic then Redhat,
slackware and Suse distributions are on those disks, giving you full
examples of the Sys V init process.
The examples above are from a Redhat system, SuSe and Debian have different
default directorys.
Hope this helps.
