With all due respect, I do not believe that is the kind of information I should have on any README.Debian files. It really belongs (and is in) the various Debian administration manuals out there in the net. > I thought my patch was more sensible than requiring the user to both > change the /etc/default file AND update-rc.d just to be able to manually > invoke the service. I will see if I can find a way to make it always active if alsa is active as well (and people who don't want it can disable the service through the standard ways). The sensible way is to have after-install callbacks on update-rc.d to notify something user friendly in the system to run whatever init script system editor the user wants... but that is NOT available in Debian (or anywhere else) yet, AFAIK. > Anyway, I'm certain that I did this in the past and somehow after some > upgrades the runlevel links reappeared in the defaults even after I had > removed them with update-rc.d. I have no proof of this, of course. You should never use update-rc.d directly. It is for package scripts. Remove all links but the ones in rc0 and rc6 for example, and the package will NOT reinstall any links. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
