Well, in Gentoo, unless it is moved due to dependency, it will start |
| 8 |
alphabetically. Also 2 init scripts with the same dependencies (say |
| 9 |
apache2 and apcupsd) will start alphabetically, since both have "need |
| 10 |
net" and nothing to do with each other. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
I am adding a "before net" to autoconfig, which should resolve this |
| 13 |
issue. |

hwsetup, not the depend. That line is commented on purpose, as I still |
| 29 |
haven't found a good way to get this to work without throwing warnings |
| 30 |
all over the screen about "$blah already provided by autoconfig, |
| 31 |
skipping"... for some reason, users like to file bug about anything that |
| 32 |
shows up on the screen that they think could possibly be an error... ;] |

No, but read the script. It starts coldplug itself. If you add |
| 37 |
coldplug via rcadd/rc-update, then you're short-circuiting the boot. |
| 38 |
Remember that some of this stuff is a hack that "just works" when used |
| 39 |
for the releases... ;] |

Yeah, the init system still is kinda a black art. |

Except that net requires neither. That and the baselayout guys don't |
| 52 |
like to "pollute" the base init scripts, but rather would suggest that |
| 53 |
autoconfig should "use net", which I have just added. |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
As for coldplug, it is started by autoconfig itself, and should never be |
| 56 |
added manually to a LiveCD. |
