hey, i am new to debian - done redhat and suse and am now finally with what truly seems to be the best distro. honestly, it was a pleasure to install debian and using it is fabulous too for i *hate* that redhat/suse automatic config crap.
anyway, been looking around through /etc/init.d and i actually installed file-rc to control runlevels through /etc/runlevel.conf. however, i am noticing a couple of peculiar things and i am not sure if i am interpreting them correctly... for instance, all these *.sh scripts, are they for single user mode only? and what is the difference between runlevel S and runlevel 1? furthermore, it seems as if mounting and bringing the network up (for instance) happen somewhere else but through /etc/init.d{mountall,networking} - at least my default /etc/runlevel.conf lists only runlevel S as start (and - for stop) for both, but obviously networking starts in runlevels 2 and 3 as well. why then are they there? where can i find an indepth rundown of what the concept behind /etc/init.d for potato is? thanks, martin [greetings from the heart of the sun]# echo [EMAIL PROTECTED]:1:[EMAIL PROTECTED]@@@.net -- "mirrors should reflect a little before throwing back images." -- jean cocteau
