Re: /etc/rc[0-6].d directories missing in Debian 1.3.1
Huh...that must be itdon't I feel foolish... I guess I was just nervous because something deleted my inetd.conf file when I installed 1.3 on a different machine a long time ago..

/etc/rc[0-6].d directories missing in Debian 1.3.1
I just installed Debian 1.3.1, and spent several harrowing hours getting exactly the packages I want (working out dependancies, etc.) I was just about to celebrate, when bam, I realized there were no /etc/rc[0-6] directories I'm assuming they haven't been renamed (they are on my Debian 1.3 system) Did some package delete them like my inetd.conf file was deleted by a random package in 1.3 days (might have been pre-release days, so it was acceptable...) What's going on? Also, does dpkg have verify features like rpmi.e. the ability to check whether MD5 sums, file sizes, dates, permissions, etc. are different then what comes with the package?
