Pretty serious issues, wasn't aware of them. > Please don't forget to include me in your plans / projects - if I can help > I'll glady will ;-). I can use all the help I can get, take a look at the presentation and if you're interested: the CVS is all yours :) > Disagree.

My goal is to be as compliant as possible, we haven't been packaging our init scripts for nothing. What I was meaning is that I'm not someone that will run around in circles just to follow policy. > In short: You can change inittab (conffile :-) ) and point to rc-livecd / > rcS-livecd, which then use /etc/livecd/rc*.d/ ...

On the init scripts, morphix has historically always used /morphix/init.sh and /morphix/rc.m/* in current init packages. This could me changed to /etc/livecd/rc*.d/ (we'd probably have a symlink to /morphix for compatibility) as it's more generic. cheers, Alex /------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Alex de Landgraaf | The cure for boredom is curiosity | | Student AI & CS, VU, A'dam | There is no cure for curiosity | | Phone: 06-16844084 | | | GPG: http://am.xs4all.nl/key_alex.asc /'-'\ | | www.alextreme.org & www.morphix.org ( o o ) | \------------------------------------------oOO0--(_)--0OOo---------/
