I seem to have a problem getting the /etc/rc.d/rc.local script to run at boot of my SL-C860.
I have removed the outcommenting of the lines for the rc.local script in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit, but that didn\'t seem to do it. What else needs to be done?
Best regards,
bb

Posted this over on another thread where you asked the same question - not sure if you\'ve read it.
Yeah, it took me a while to find, but you need to edit /root/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit, it\'s an exact copy of the rc.sysinint in /etc/rc.d but it seems that the one in /etc/rc.d isn\'t run for some reason.
About 3/4 of the way down there is a commented section dealing with running /etc/rc.d/rc.local, uncomment this section and /etc/rc.d/rc.local will be run at boot time.
hope this get things working for you

I didn\'t - thanks. I seem to be unable to edit /root/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit though. When I have edited it and try saving, I get a message telling me: \"Unable to create file rc.sysinit\". Of course I run as root, and it happens no matter where I stand: in the /root/etc/rc.d directory or in root\'s $HOME.
I have tried this with both the editor in mc and the ee editor.

Ahh, sorry, I missed one important step - remount / rw!
mount -o rw,remount /
must be issued as root!

Should have figured that one myself. Thanks, I\'ll try it when I am over another issue I have now.
