I knew that, technically speaking. =] In all my ~/.profiles I had the semicolons, but when I switched all my functions to a centralized location I kinda forgot. oops. Okay, eine neue frage, bitte. What's the deal with /etc/rc.boot I put a script in there that looks more or less identical to the other scripts already there, but when I boot up I get a syntax error.
PATH=/sbin modprobe sound insmod uart401 insmod sb io=0x200 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=-1 insmod mpu401 io=0x330 insmod opl3 io=0x388 insmod v_midi This is the same script I run as root to configure my sound card modules. It seems like all the other scripts in /etc/rc.boot use #!/bin/sh as the first line, however is this not a comment?
