Made by the same person who did pulseaudio, it supposedly does some good--in my own case (on Fedora), it hasn't gotten in my way, which is about all I ask of the Fedora "improvements". However, thanks, I believe, to Bill Nottingham, at <modest cough> my suggestion, in Fedora's /etc/inittab are instructions on how to fix run level. It seems to continue to work with chkconfig and the service command, though it is, judging from some posts on Fedora forums, causing problems for a few people. (Just search systemd on Fedora forums and user jpollard.) However, CentOS 6 is still running /etc/inittab and one can set the runlevel there, as well as in the kernel line. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Willow: Why couldn't he be possessed by a puppy, or some ducks?
