Can any1 tell me what I have to type here? I also need it to boot at startup.
For an init script to work you need to do to things: First, create a script (eg, your sshd) which receives a parameter "start" or "stop", and starts/stops your service accordingly. If you've copied an existing script and edited it, you're probably ready from this stage. Next, you have to create soft-links from the directories rc0.d, rc1.d etc to your script. The name of the links is important. If it starts with "S", it will cause your script to start up, and if it starts with "K" it causes your script to be stopped. The numbers following the S or K influence the order in which the scripts are started. An easy way to do this is to use the chkconfig command, if it's installed. If it is, you can set up your script by simply typing "chkconfig sshd on". In order for this to work, your sshd script requires some special comments at the top - one line with a description and another with the chkconfig levels and order. You can see other scripts in the directory to see how it's done. >>> Another problem I got is I installed the keyboard 'UK' and apparently my keyboard is US, so I can't use the | key, can't find it anywere on the keyboard. If your keyboard has a sterling-sign (£) above the 3, it's UK. If it has a # sign there, it's US. In any case you should be able to select the correct keyboard. Try the loadkeys command.
