here some updates: |

After some grepping I found the /etc/rc.conf file. |
| 4 |
I then made some research on the net to find the best consolefonts, and |
| 5 |
read in the french-howto that I should use the iso15-latin9 font. |
| 6 |
Couldn't find it :( |
| 7 |
On freshmeat.net/kbd somebody mentioned that kbd was more up to date |
| 8 |
then console-tools and surprise surprise: kbd has this font (at least I |
| 9 |
think it's the right one: lat9w-16). |

| 13 |
Even though it gives this usage-message, the script seems to be executed |
| 14 |
without any errors. |
| 15 |
|

| 18 |
it is not a big deal, but at least I did not print the manual, but read |
| 19 |
it with less. And when I rebootet (of course a little bit nervous ;), |
| 20 |
it just made me even more nervous to focus on not forgetting to execute |
| 21 |
something later on... |

| 25 |
I agree with Martin that in that it's better to educate, but let's be |
| 26 |
honest, who uses nano? At least all editors I use normally (ok, that's |
| 27 |
only vim ;) don't have this problem. |

| 31 |
hope nobody got this wrong. The reason the script failed, was that I |
| 32 |
moved the modules to another place, because I did not (and still don't) |
| 33 |
understand why cardmgr... loaded modules I compiled into the kernel. ( |
| 34 |
as stars and not as M odules) |
| 35 |
Nevertheless there is something wrong with the PCMCIA-package. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
1) cardmgr is a daemon and because my machine is sooooo slow, it doesn't |
| 38 |
have enough time to load all modules for my network-card. |
| 39 |
If I add a sleep 2 inside my net.eth0 everything works fine. |
| 40 |
I have _no_ idea how this could easily be fixed. (unless you let |
| 41 |
cardmgr call the right scripts, which of course is correct, but "ugly") |
| 42 |
2) the pcmcia "-script" , even though in /etc/runlevels/default, does |
| 43 |
not produce a link in /dev/shm/.init.d/started. There is a directory in |
| 44 |
/dev/shm/.init.d/use/pcmcia containing a link to net.eth0 though. |
| 45 |
3) obviously because of (2) the pcmcia script is called twice. Once for |
| 46 |
the net.eth0 script and another time after (on the screen even the last |
| 47 |
one) |
| 48 |
4) the pcmcia-script does not "produce" a green star and no ok. |
| 49 |
It also is closed because of sending the term-signal to everyone |
| 50 |
and not because of calling pcmcia stop. |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
Ignore my last untested point! (from the original mail) |
| 53 |
Everything is fine. I did not imagine that the scripts were this |
| 54 |
clever, and would insert them into /dev/shm/.init.d/started, even |
| 55 |
when called manually. |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
At the moment I tend to fill out 2 bug-reports: |
| 58 |
1) no ok for the pcmcia-script |
| 59 |
2) race-condition |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
Anything else? |
