The Detailed Look at the Boot Process I skimmed over in a non-redhat specifc version with the same name, that I found on google. It did not have the link to Running Additional Programs at Boot Time. Also, as I'd rather not do anything harmful because I do not feel skilled enough to understand what I break, I thought it safest to ask here first. But you are right, I always STFW and RTFM to the best of my ability before I post. Four out of five times, I get my answer right there! No need to post, no waste time,... Thanks.
