I think we should move all those files into a separate package. I have
been meaning to update some other rc files (like /etc/init.d/modules)
as well, but I can't since it isn't part of any package! It is just the
/etc/init.d/modules from the system on which the 3 base disks were
generated..

Some of the files from /etc/init.d are in sysvinit, others are nowhere..
should I move them into sysvinit or should we make a seperate package for
it? I'd be willing to maintain it..

Mike.
