Yes, each of the packages fails lintian see, http://www.debian.org/lintian/reports/Tpackage-installs-into-etc-rc.boot.html. On my slink system 'dpks -S /etc/rc.boot' gives 'setserial, hwtools, kbd, sysvinit: /etc/rc.boot'. So sysvinit is still installing rc.boot as well, which is acceptable since it is not banned but obsolete. -- Brian --------------------------------------------------------------------- "Never criticize anybody until you have walked a mile in their shoes, because by that time you will be a mile away and have their shoes." - unknown Mechanical Engineering [EMAIL PROTECTED] Purdue University http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis ---------------------------------------------------------------------
