8 Hi Mark,

10 Yep, /etc/init.d/serial is gone in the ~x86 version of baselayout.
11
12 Note that there is a particular "problem" with /etc/init.d. Since it is
13 in /etc, it falls under the CONFIG_PROTECT scheme of not removing
14 "configuration" files when a package gets updated/removed. You may want
15 to add the following to /etc/make.conf:
16
17 CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/init.d"
18
19 This will let portage remove init scripts when they are no longer used.
20 But it also means that if you make customizations to the init scripts,
21 they can be overwritten without going through etc-update.
