Considerably more flexable than rc.local, or anything else
to date. The key is having explicit control -- no magic.
Having an optional package that replaced the sysvinit
startup with a "state machine" (whatever that is) is fine by
me. But I still think we should fix what's broke. In time,
I'm sure that Linuxconf will be able to handle multiple
running states with some kind of menu selectable state at
startup or something at some point. Perhaps this would be
the alternative of choice.
