Beny, I do not know that much about debian, but I know that in slmodem-2.9.11-2008/scripts/debian There should be a script for debian as well There are for SUSE, mandriva, slackware and I believe there should be one for debian. slmodem-2.9.11-20080126/scripts/ slmodem-2.9.11-20080126/scripts/slmodem.spec slmodem-2.9.11-20080126/scripts/debian/ slmodem-2.9.11-20080126/scripts/debian/slmodemd slmodem-2.9.11-20080126/scripts/slackware/ slmodem-2.9.11-20080126/scripts/slackware/README slmodem-2.9.11-20080126/scripts/slackware/rc.slmodemd slmodem-2.9.11-20080126/scripts/suse/ slmodem-2.9.11-20080126/scripts/suse/slmodemd.conf slmodem-2.9.11-20080126/scripts/suse/slmodemd.SUSE slmodem-2.9.11-20080126/scripts/mandrake/ slmodem-2.9.11-20080126/scripts/mandrake/slmodemd slmodem-2.9.11-20080126/scripts/slmodemd slmodem-2.9.11-20080126/scripts/slmodemd.ubuntu.italy For Debian slmodem-2.9.11-20080126/scripts/debian/ slmodem-2.9.11-20080126/scripts/debian/slmodemd >From debian FAQ page http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-customizing.en.html Suppose a system needs to execute script foo on start-up, or on entry to a particular (System V) runlevel. Then the system administrator should: Enter the script foo into the directory /etc/init.d/. Run the Debian command update-rc.d with appropriate arguments, to set up links between the (command-line-specified) directories rc?.d and /etc/init.d/foo. Here, '?' is a number from 0 through 6 and corresponds to each of the System V runlevels. Reboot the system. The command update-rc.d will set up links between files in the directories rc?.d and the script in /etc/init.d/. Each link will begin with a 'S' or a 'K', followed by a number, followed by the name of the script. Scripts beginning with 'S' in /etc/rcN.d/ are executed when runlevel N is entered. Scripts beginning with a 'K' are executed when leaving runlevel N. One might, for example, cause the script foo to execute at boot-up, by putting it in /etc/init.d/ and installing the links with update-rc.d foo defaults 19. The argument 'defaults' refers to the default runlevels, which are 2 through 5. The argument '19' ensures that foo is called before any scripts containing numbers 20 or larger. For the modprobe.conf file, it might be better to ask Marv for guidance on this one, since he knows about more Debian than I do.
