Re: knoppix 6.0.1: rc script for run level 2
Hi,
I added my line in /etc/rc.local just before "exit 0". But the script
was not executed.
The kernel line in grub is:
/boot/isolinux/linux ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init lang=us
apm=power-off vga=normal initrd=minirt.gz nomce BOOT_IMAGE=linux 2
Can this be the reason ?
Thanks.
