Come on. update-rc.d is a sh script, and on my Pentium133 it takes 10 (ten!) seconds to run. That's unacceptable. I rewrote it in perl, line-by-line so without optimizing it and it now runs in 0.1 secs or so. _Speed_ is also important. Mike. -- Miquel van | Cistron Internet Services -- Alphen aan den Rijn.
