Not necessarily. The timidity symlinks are all k's. Since I do not want jackd starting at boot and all the init.d script does is say to change /etc/default/jackd if I do want it, I can dispense with that one. For running timidity system-wide at bootup, there is now a separate timidity- daemon package to this init.d script is actually obsolete. So I move them out of the way. My questions remain: 1. Were I to upgrade the hddtemp and remove the offending init.d scripts and get a "clean" test, is it really safe to go over to the new bootup and do I still have the choice? 2. It may be a while before many debianers will in fact migrate. Some may never do so. Sysv-rc is uninstallable if the safety-check comes up with "errors". Since, once these errors are fixed and one rally wants to go over, one must run dpkg-reconfigure, why should sysv-rc be unconfigured? This should probably be a bug-report. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
