Re: Where is "/etc/rc.d/rc.local" on Debian?
Hi again,
guess what I need to know is how do you start programs at boot on a Debian
system. I have tried to put my "soundon* script from OSS in rc.boot and I
get an error message when booting saying:
"cat uses obsolete /proc/pci interface"
It must be a way to load software/scripts in a simple way when booting. Or
isn't it?
