Without a seperate init you won't get > very far. :-) oh. then we still need to port debian's sysvinit. btw help from anyone reading this is quite welcome :) No, you have missunderstood what dmd is. It is not /sbin/init, it is an repleacement for it (think of it as GNU's not Unix, yet they are quite similar in several regards). From the annoucment mail for dmd--0.7: (define about-the-software "The dmd program is a service manager, i.e. on the GNU system (which is the primary target), it replaces /sbin/init completely, on systems which are similar to Unix (e.g. GNU/Linux) it replaces the part of /sbin/init that is responsible for switching runlevels (/etc/rc?.d and /etc/init.d come to mind), respawning services (/etc/inittab comes to mind) and similar things.") _______________________________________________ Help-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-hurd
