But do you actually need to bother with runlevels or is > it like arch (everything in $DAEMONS goes to 3 and 5, and 5 can be set > for X through inittab)? > Well, you get named runlevels which you can call from inittab: l0:0:wait:/sbin/rc shutdown l0s:0:wait:/sbin/halt -dhp l1:1:wait:/sbin/rc single l2:2:wait:/sbin/rc nonetwork l3:3:wait:/sbin/rc default etc. etc. So if you want to split things like that, yes that's possible. The advantage is that the runlevels are named, so you have "default", and you could have "desktop" if you wanted. And if you are really crazy you could write an acpid rule that switches to "powersave" runlevel if AC power is removed, etc. etc. The sky is the limit :) Take care, Patrick
