Most likely he just creates a runlevel and then add the things he needs |
| 29 |
to that runlevel. I did this once in the past and all I did was create |
| 30 |
a directory in /etc/runlevels and then use rc-update to add things to |
| 31 |
the runlevel. I don't think you have to have a "special" tool to add |
| 32 |
the runlevel. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Once created, just add softlevel="name of runlevel here> to the end of |
| 35 |
the boot line in grub. It should boot to that runlevel. Oh, no spaces |
| 36 |
between that either. It should be all as one word. |

That help any? |
