No, actually that's a very good question. Unfortunately I can't
answer it, except to suggest looking at 'dmesg'. That at least tells
you what gets going and the order. I suspect the only definitive
answer would be from a Mandrake guru developer. Invite one over for
the weekend ;) Otherwise you'll need to play Dick Tracy and hunt thru
the various startup scripts and files scattered thruout the system
using 'dmesg 'as a guide. Good luck, we'll be expecting a report ;>
