RE: Adding hdparm at boot time

I would put the script in init.d, and a symlink rc3.d and prepend the symlink name with S01 or S00 so that it starts up before everything else. Matthew > -Original Message- > From: Willy Lee [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Willy Lee > Sent: Wednesday, 11 October 2000 3:28 p.m. > To: s
