That's not true. In fact the stuff in /etc/rc.boot will be run very, very early in the boot process, and you can't count on things like NFS or NIS working yet. What you want to do is to put a proper RC script in /etc/init.d and install it with update-rc.d Read /etc/init.d/README and /usr/share/doc/sysvinit/README.runlevels.gz to get an idea how it all fits together Mike. -- I live the way I type; fast, with a lot of mistakes.
