Yes. I don't want to be impolite, but I'd like to ask you to read the manuals _before_ you post to this list. "A Detailed Look at the Boot Process" http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/ref-guide/s1-boot-init-shutdown-process.html "Running Additional Programs at Boot Time" http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/ref-guide/s1-boot-init-shutdown-run-boot.html Thanks!
