Re: /etc/rc?.d question
It looks to me like you didn't do anything wrong.
Given an infinite amount of time,
everyone on this list could solve all his Linux problems
without any third-party help. All you have to do is read every
single man page, every README, every info file, and the
source code to all the programs on your machine, and you're
set. If you're not a programmer, you would also have to read the C
bible, the C++ bible, a Perl book, a Bourne Shell book, a
Tcl/Tk book, and a few others. A few basic algorithms books
might help, as well as an OS textbook, the TCP/IP networking
bible, and all five books in the Hitchhiker's Guide trilogy
(for completeness). After about 40 years you would have an
excellent understanding of your system.
Now yesterday I spent about 6 hours on the computer, then one
hour at 4am when I woke up and realized my machine had failed
to power itself down (you may have seen my post), and today
I'm sick so I'm due to spend all day at the keyboard.
Nonetheless, I will say this again: Computers are boring.
Linux is boring. Debian is boring. Whenever you can find a way to
save RTFM time, by posting to the list or whatever, more power
to you. Of course you have to consider the impact of
this on the rest of the world: if you save your time by
wasting mine, that's not so great. However, it doesn't look to
me like Mr. Pernegger is a flagrant violator of this rule.
