I use those too and I can recommend them. They give a very fast boot and are easy to understand (and therefore easy to customise), unlike standard sysv init scripts. The only problem I have found is that they make networking trickier to set up, because you don't have ifup and ifdown. I had to write the relevant ip commands into rc.local by hand. But that was probably a very good exercise for me! -- Hazel Russman -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
