No, it will not appear on upgrade or re-installation. The symlinks will only appear (in their default configuration) if *none* of them already exist. So, if you purge a package (which deletes all the symlinks) and re-install it, you'll get the links back. Otherwise, your choices won't be overwritten by the installation/upgrade of a package. I never said that I didn't like the features that we make available to the sysadmin with our init system. My complaint has always been that we should either *use* sysvinit by default or leave it as an option to sysadmins who want its features. noah -- _______________________________________________________ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html
