No problem, although my script probably isn't a model you'll want to
follow ;) /etc/init.d/skeleton would be a better model for just about
every case you'll need.
Also, there's a bit of redundancy here. I call isapnp, but the isapnptools
package installs a script (run before this one) that does the same. I
could probably then delete that line, i just need to get the time to test
it... Ditto for changing some of those insmods to modprobes; when i wrote
the script i didn't know how to use modprobe, and after that i didn't want
to break something that worked.
As a final note, i redirect all error messages to /dev/null. Works ok for
me for this script, YMMV.
