Hi again,
guess what I need to know is how do you start programs at boot on a Debian system. I have tried to put my "soundon* script from OSS in rc.boot and I get an error message when booting saying: "cat uses obsolete /proc/pci interface" It must be a way to load software/scripts in a simple way when booting.
