1. As far as bootlogd is concerned, do the following:

No such package.

bootlogd is actually included in the sysvinit package.
You turn it on by setting BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=Yes in /etc/default/bootlogd.

As for syslog this is automatically started up.
If you find you're missing symlinks to the scripts the you can
do one of two things:

1. man update-rc.d
2. dpkg-reconfigure <package>

(You might also find the package 'rcconf' useful for such tasks).

Don't use update-rc.d -- it is designed for use in maintainer scripts,
not as a runlevel editor.  Good runlevel editors are sysv-rc-conf
and ksysv.

Thomas,
Thank-you. Ksysv explains it all very clearly.  Your reply was excellent.


Thanks again

Jim
