In this way it differs from BSD. They are running too many rc scripts before dropping you into single user. I had to fight against this after installing their ``well-tested'' driver upgrade 3 recently, at which point the machine has been kicked off early during the `S' level initialization. (The `drvinit' program turned out to be the culprit, it is run by some rcS.d script, but luckily, it's not actually needed at all. :) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
