I wanted to apply the Swap-Space mini HOW-TO so I could use the same swap partition on Windows (3.11 and 95) and Debian. In order to accomplish this, I had to modify the way the swap is activated (/etc/init.d/boot) and deactivated (/etc/init.d/{halt,reboot}). I ended up creating a file /etc/init.d/swap, with takes the usual parameters "start" and "stop", and modified the other files to reference it.
Questions: 1. Is this the appropriate way to do this? 2. Did I break the Debian package system by doing this? Do any packages mess around with the files in /etc/init.d? Will these packages install properly after my modifications? 3. Would this be of sufficient general interest to warrant a real bug report and have the swap setup moved to its own file in /etc/init.d? Any suggestions? -- Gonzalo A. Diethelm G. [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
