If it helps, the stand-alone workstation was bought, assembled, and installed between 11 and 12 years ago.
Something installed with something else?
Something that should have been cleaned out by a past update, but wasn't?
I would have assumed that those file would have been removed when the RPM that owned them was removed.
Anyway this is what I have on a upgrade f40 system:
$ find /etc/rc.d/
/etc/rc.d/
/etc/rc.d/rc4.d
/etc/rc.d/rc2.d
/etc/rc.d/rc0.d
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d
/etc/rc.d/rc6.d
/etc/rc.d/rc1.d
/etc/rc.d/init.d
/etc/rc.d/init.d/README
/etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
/etc/rc.d/rc5.d
I think it's safe for you to remove all the files in /etc/rc.d - suggest you back up /etc/rc.d just incase there is something needed.

Something else is puzzling me here.
The warning during boot would not happen unless something#1 during boot is looking at and/or using something#2 in that directory, right? What? What will happen when that something#1 fails to find that directory?
I assume you're suggesting that I use "rm -rf". Am I correct?
I think I can more easily get a good test by instead using "mv" to either rename or move the directory. Once it's definite that that broke nothing, I can do the "rm -rf".
My /etc/rc.d/ has a lot of links in its subdirectories. Should what they "point to" also be removed?
