18 I thought there was a tool that just lists the contents. Things is, I'm
19 not sure what I would be looking at. I figure the contents of some of
20 the files is more important than whether it is there or not. I guess.
21 I have a bad history with these init thingys. It was one reason I
22 switched to Gentoo. Keep in mind, I switched way back in 2003 when it
23 was rare that a init thingy was needed in Gentoo. It seems someone
24 screwed that up.

26 Anyway. I try to keep a few fall back plans around. Spare kernels
27 etc. ;-)
