Thanks for the info, although the exact file you list does not exist.
However, /etc/init.d/inittab exists which is seems like a spare. If I diff
the two, I get:
frisch# diff inittab init.d/inittab
48,51c48
< # This line is special for the Debian installation system.
< # This file will be replaced when installation completes.
< 1:2345:respawn:/bin/login root </dev/tty1 >/dev/tty1 2>&1
< # 1:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1

frisch#
I was just going to overwrite /etc/inittab with /etc/init.d/inittab, but I
thought I would be overly cautious and ask it this is the correct thing to
do. Cheers, Colin.
