Debian, as a distribution, really doesn't use runlevels 3-5, but it does set them up in skeletal fashion as a convenience to a local sysadmin who wants to use them for local purposes. Mostly what is there is just what Debian puts in runlevel 2. It saves a bit if copying by the sysadmin. I don't think it is governed by policy. The policy is that 3-5 are for local use. -- Paul E Condon [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
