After all, : the /etc/rc* stuff is just shell scripts. I have 2.2.5 boxes running with : /etc/rc* from 2.1. However these shell scripts don't work so well, if : bins that mess with the kernel aren't updated. Just as an aside, I have (or had until very recently) a -current system that used the 2.0.5R rc scripts. Worked just fine. Fear of the unknown kept me from upgrading, and the "don't fix what ain't broken" mantra. After getting some rc.conf expereinces under my belt, and seeing how easy it was to do, I changed my mind and upgraded after the next make world. There are those in the -core team that tell of systems they have had since patchkit days that still have the same rc scripts..... Warner
