Your "mystartup" concept is fine. I mean, not only does it work but it's not considered flakey or non-standard. But there is a more elegant way to load a module. All you need to do is put it in /etc/modules. If you cat /etc/modules it will tell you how. I would have a "mystartup" script like yours and implement it theway you did it but not for loading a module. In mine, I configure iptables, for example. A line in it is: iptables-restore /etc/firewall.rules At 01:37 PM 12/29/2005, you wrote: >Greg, > >When I first switched to Debian I really missed not having an rc.local >to put stuff like that in.
