I 'kind of' got most of that, but I don't see how the command
in /etc/init.d/ makes something in /etc/rcS.d run.
Furthermore, I've seen nothing of a runlevel 'S' - I know about
'0 to 6' and even 7 for X and beyond.
Or have I misunderstood your reply? I must say that trying to
get to grips with the start-up procedure is hellishly
confusing to my poor brain

Thanks for your response.

John.
