I definitely agree. rc.sysinit is the last BSD-style remnant in a SysV structure. The idea behind SysV is to modularize, so that there's no need to edit critical files, but just create symlinks as needed. Breaking rc.sysinit into a directory is the logical next step towards a fully modularised startup mechanism. -- Florin Andrei "You can get excited about just any subject if you study it enough.
