remove the S90xdm file from your /etc/rc2.d (maybe all rcx.d, but 2 for
sure, as it's the default runlevel)

there's about a half-dozen files that take over parts of the utility of
autoexec.bat.  It depends on what you want to do.

that'd be /etc/fstab

here's mine
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options>                  <dump>
<pass>
/dev/hda3       /               ext2    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0    1
/dev/hda1       none            swap    sw                         0    0
proc            /proc           proc    defaults                   0    0
/dev/hdb1       /usr            ext2    defaults                   0    2
/dev/hda2       /msdos          umsdos  defaults                   0    2
/dev/sda1       /syquest        umsdos  defaults                   0    2

hda2 is my win3x partition, hda3 is my root partition, and hdb is given
over completely to linux--sda1 is a syquest EZ135 that I keep transient
stuff on.

sort of there's a page (not a LDP HOWTO)

http://www.muc.de/~hm/linux/linux-isdn.html

There's an unmaintained HOWTO in the LDP, but it's specialized for ppp

ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/unmaintained/mini/PPP-over-ISDN


YMMV--I don't do ISDN, so can't vouch much for the info

When you are having a bad day, and it seems like everybody is trying to
tick you off, remember that it takes 42 muscles to produce a frown, but
only 4 muscles to  work the trigger of a good sniper rifle.
