rcS.d is not a runlevel. It is the equivalent of rc.sysinit on other distributions/flavors or, should I say, and expansion of that idea.
Correct, that's why I said "before" the run-levels at boot. But you still need to know about it.
0 - Halt 1 - Single User 2 - Multi User (No NFS) 3 - Multi User 4 - Reserved 5 - Multi User (Graphical, originaly XDM) 6 - Reboot The processes started at each runlevel will differ, of course. Not all machines will run httpd on run levels 2, 3 and 5. But none should run it at run levels 0, 1 or 6.
This are the Fedora-based distro run-levels. Level 2-5 actually _differ_ on many UNIX/Linux platforms. E.g., _many_ use 3 _not_ 5 for X11.
The only consistency seems to be 0, 1 and 6 -- although many distros differ on a "maintanence" run-level between 0 and 1.
