Why is file-rc not the default, just out of curiosity. I found it much more intuitive, and a bit easier and faster to maintain. The default sysV init scripts took me a bit longer to figure out. I would install file-rc agian, but I have a worry. I noticed when updating/installing new packages with file-rc installed, I get a *LOT* of errors that are something like: update-rc.d: integer expected or something leading me to believe that dpkg still tries to run the "update-rc.d" script used in a sysV init system, while "update-rc.d" is obsolete if file-rc is used. Any comments on this? Is this perhaps fixed in Hamm? Thanks
