[expert] trying to understand some things here.
Noticing some things in init.d and I've come upon a curiosity. What is the reason/difference between /etc/init.d/network and /etc/init.d/internet? Both of them do try to start prior to pcmcia which for a laptop that doesn't have a pci network card is a drag. But it is rather curious that there are two separate items that seem to do similar things. Not I could be and probably am very wrong about the last statement but it, at the moment is clear as mud.

James network is for network. internet is a service to start an internet connection at bootup. They don't do the same. -- Regards Steffen counter.li.org : #296567. machine: 181800 vdr-box : 87 Please dont CC me, since if I have replied I'll watch the tread.

James Network brings up ehternet cards and perhaps some services. Internet brings up internet connections and services that are started at boot which may be ppp, PPPoE, ISDN, and etc. Civileme Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

One last set of errors to check. After smb/nmb and pcmcia are shutdown killall seems to try a second time to shut down smb/nmb. (I've got a number of laptops I set up for work and linux shutdown/startup is slow enough that salespeople can read the words FAILED and panic) Thanks for the explanation.
