If FreeBSD and Slackware both dissapeared I would be tempted to give up on computing (well, not really, but you get the picture). :) > > might be dated info but GNU/Linux usually has sep directory for each run > level, so you can have one "without X" for example. pretty sure ntsysv is a > front end to rc directories with toggle on-off executable bit Slack doesn't do that madness, it has BSD-style init scripts and the only thing you need to do is, as Chris said, to make desired scripts in /etc/rc.d executable. There really aren't any tools such as ntsysv or rcconf in Slackware as far as I remember, at least not in "base" system but there might be some made by community. -- Tax reform means "Don't tax you, don't tax me, tax that fellow behind the tree." -- Russell Long
