Handy" To: hackers@FreeBSD.org Cc: Jordan Hubbard Subject: Confused over new rc.* changes Message-Id: X-Files: The truth is out there Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-hackers@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk So I got lucky and I'm updating a new machine with Jordan's rearranged rc.* changes. I've got a question already... In /usr/src/etc there's now an etc.i386 directory which contains rc.i386. I've poked through the remaining rc files and I can't see where this gets called from. Is this file supposed to live in /etc/ or /etc/etc.i386? Is this documented anywhere? So far all I can find is the stuff in the cvs tree related to Jordan's commits, and I'm not sure I understand the way things flow here yet. I like the new rc.conf setup, although it's not radically different from sysconfig it's a lot simpler to look through for stuff. I'm just having a problem getting myself situated with the new system. Happy trails Brian
