There are some examples in the balloon3-config package - don't install it but take a quick look at the source, it's in the Grip repository. > I'm guessing I need to create my own inittab, but I'd rather check > with you people first to make sure I'm not missing any vital > documentation that I should be reading, since the page doesn't mention > anything about inittab :-) You were right first time.
