5 I've re-emerged shadow, logged out and logged in and even rebooted the
6 system and (otherwise I wouldn't be able to send this post) all is
7 living again.

13 PS: Just a minor issue: Is there a way to use "normal" SysV booting on
14 Gentoo? What I mean is the booting style with the [0-9][0-9]something
15 in /etc/[init.d/]rc[0-9] what usuelly are links to /etc/init.d instead
16 of this simpleinit (?) style booting?
17 Xcuse me, I'm mostly working on AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, Dynix and Tru64, so
18 the Gentoo boot style is an annoying one for me. .. I'm not saying that
19 it is a bad one with this stating ;o)
20 I started on Linux with Slackware. They use BSD style booting. THERE it
21 was easy to replace this. How on Gentoo?
