all DEBIAN init stuff is in /etc/init.d/* ...

for runlevel N, look in /etc/rc<N>.d/* (e.g. for
the default runlevel 2, try /etc/rc2.d/*). those are
symlinks to the actual scripts in /etc/init.d/*.

K* are run as 'command stop' to halt a daemon, and
S* are run as 'command start' to launch a daemon or
start some service.

man update-rc.d

update-rc.d is a handy command to link and unlink
/etc/init.d/* scripts into and out-of various /etc/rc*.d/
directories (runlevels).

but--

ignore all that if you can avoid it.

	1) apt-get install ipmasq
	2) set up your /etc/network/interfaces
	3) ifup -a

	4) ipmasq

	5) do productive work
