Hi Chris If this is over-cautious or inaccurate, I'm sure someone will correct me:
1. If /mnt/kd/rc.conf.d/ exists, /mnt/kd/rc.conf is ignored. 2. /etc/rc.conf is a symlink to /tmp/etc/rc.conf, so obviously cannot be edited 3. /tmp/etc/rc.conf is generated afresh each reboot - so do not edit it - written either with defaults, or using values from the /mnt/kd files (according to point 1 above) Hope this helps Tom > -----Original Message----- > From: Chris Abnett [mailto:eldorado...@yahoo.com] > Sent: 21 January 2010 14:25 > To: 'AstLinux Users Mailing List' > Subject: Re: [Astlinux-users] mini_httpd how to configure? > > So the way I understand it is this: > > 1] /mnt/kd/rc.conf.d/gui.network.conf takes #1 precedence > over any other.. > only variables contained??
