knoppix 6.0.1: rc script for run level 2

["Zvi Vered" <veredz72@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I installed knoppix 6.0.1 (kernel 2.6.28.4) on a USB disk. The kernel line 
in grub
contains "BOOT_IMAGE=linux 2" to launch knoppix in text mode only.

In order to run a script upon entering to run level 2 I wrote a script named 
rc2 in /etc/init.d:

#!/bin/sh
echo "Hello from knoppix"
sleep 10

But upon entering runlevel 2, this script is not executed.

What am I doing wrong ?

Thanks.
