??? init 9 (or telinit 9, yes, I have a runlevel 9, basic, just gpm as it happens) isn't appropriate? Of course, with gentoo's inittab, init then simply calls rc, but if rc is called directly, how does init know to change its runlevel, as seen as if it were passed on its commandline in top, etc? And what about additional wait/once/respawn entries? How will init know to take care of them? -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
