If upstart doesn't read it, I'd say don't try to have a hack that has something else parse it and configure upstart. However, /etc/inittab is a long-time configuration file for Unix-like systems, so it would be good to have an /etc/inittab that contains comments that point to the new location for the configuration options (e.g. default runlevel, console terminal configuration, etc.). You could have a big "### THIS FILE IS OBSOLETE ###" at the top, and anaconda, etc. could key off that line (and/or whether the file has any non-comment lines in it). -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
