have you considered putting it in the initrd image instead? Under Debian, at least, there's an option in /etc/default/brltty to do this, after which you would have to run update-initramfs. This would run BRLTTY even earlier in the boot process and you wouldn't have to touch init. _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
