Re: booting up

[Joshua Schmidlkofer <menion mindless com>]

in your '/etc/rc.d' directory, I really have no idea what 'rc.d' stands
for, but assuming you have a basic understanding of 'run-levels'....

you have (in the '/etc/rc.d' dir)
   (*NOTE: These are all dirs)
	init.d - Scripts for alternate deamon startup
	rc0.d  - Run level 0....
	rc1.d  - Run level 1... (you get the picture.)
	rc2.d
	rc3.d
	rc4.d
	rc5.d
	rc6.d
   
OK Now in 'init.d' you have the real scripts, in the 'rcX.d' you have
links to them.  The links have a prefix: ie:
  rc3.d/
	K10amd.init
	K20ypserv.init
	K30yppasswd.init
	S10network
	S20nfs
	S30lpd.init
	S40gpm.init
	S50local.init

You have 2 .. uhm.. 'keys' ('S' and 'K') S=start, K=kill, 'K's run
before 'S''s. SO the number represent priority, so K10, would die before
K20.... and S10 would start before S20... etc.
