I am hoping to sit down this weekend and read through the reference. It looks to be a rather complete coverage of things Debian, and I am quite hopeful it will iron out much I don't know. I have been wondering about specifics for maintenance, such as updates and so on, and I figure that will be well covered in this and other texts. I like the apparent complete approach to documentation in Debian, though so far things have been a little fragmented it seems. I am confident given time everything I need to know will be covered. > You can create a new script such as /etc/init.d/local.sh and put all of > your initialization commands in it.

I found /etc/rc.local and it seems to be for the purpose I was looking. Surprising to see it there, as I thought all the init scripts were in /etc/rc... or /etc/init.d. > # # That was a Control-D.

Though I am still wondering why Debian has runlevels 2-5 with no apparent difference between them. I have to quit assuming that one is for console logins. Many thanks again for all this help.
