OK its all moved to a handmade subdir. Probably nicer that way, but I still
have to make the files dir in the Makefile and put the script in it! or am I
missing something?
Maybe I don't understand the files dir!!? could it mean that the startup
script can not come from the tarball? (I've done some work for including
FreeBSD stuff into the original package. So that would be a capitulation to
Linux then wouldnt it?: all is writen for Linux and then adapted for FreeBSD
:o)

I'm sorry to say that i doesn't explain this for me. Porters handbook still
requires a lot of implicit knowledge. (But I'm getting there by small
increments :O)
Thanks and BR
