Well, if you run up2date or download updates and they get installed, my experience is that the changes you manually make to anything in the files in the initscripts rpm will be overwritten if you need to update that rpm. Sometimes you have to do so for a whole host of reasons. But it will still overwrite what changes you make. So, you'll have to remember it when things stop working and you wonder what happened. It will require another manual changing to get it back again. I change setsysfont, you change rc.sysinit. Both of us lose the manual changes whenever we have to update initscripts. It doesn't usually happen that often and it's easy to forget what you had to do before after a lot of time passes. -- Plagiarism saves time. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
