I am not sure about Fedora, but Debian has an rcS.d set of init scripts
that are run before the runlevel ones. Perhaps you can link to the
script from there. You just need to be sure that the filesystem where
all the commands you need to run is mounted. This usually means that
/usr/local must be mounted. This won't be a problem if it is on the /
filesystem.
