16 The CVS header on /etc/init.d/serial shows that it is from the
17 rc-scripts module on gentoo cvs, and rc-scripts is distributed as part
18 of baselayout indeed.

20 However it is not installed by baselayout-1.11.12-r4, and in fact it
21 does nothing as /etc/serial.conf does not exist, so is safe to delete -
22 but make sure (a) you aren't using it (check /etc/serial.conf) and (b)
23 you remove it from all runlevels.
