ouch. now I am confused.
I had:
ls /etc/rc.d:
README dhcp nfs rc1.d single
SuSEfirewall_final dhcrelay nfsserver rc2.d
skeleton
SuSEfirewall_init dummy nscd rc3.d smb
SuSEfirewall_setup gpm pcnfsd rc4.d smbfs
alsasound halt personal-firewall.final rc5.d sshd
apache halt.local personal-firewall.initial rc6.d syslog
apmd idedma portmap rcS.d usbmgr
at inetd powerfail reboot
wvdial.dod
autofs irda proftpd route xdm
boot kbd quota routed xfstt
boot.d kerneld quotad rusersd ypbind
boot.local lpd random rwhod zope
boot.setup mysql rc sendmail
cron network rc0.d serial
ls -l /etc/init.d:
README dhcp nfs rc1.d single
SuSEfirewall_final dhcrelay nfsserver rc2.d
skeleton
SuSEfirewall_init dummy nscd rc3.d smb
SuSEfirewall_setup gpm pcnfsd rc4.d smbfs
alsasound halt personal-firewall.final rc5.d sshd
apache halt.local personal-firewall.initial rc6.d syslog
apmd idedma portmap rcS.d usbmgr
at inetd powerfail reboot
wvdial.dod
autofs irda proftpd route xdm
boot kbd quota routed xfstt
boot.d kerneld quotad rusersd ypbind
boot.local lpd random rwhod zope
boot.setup mysql rc sendmail
cron network rc0.d serial
Then I ran
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d /etc/rc.d
and all the contents (above in /etc/rc.d) disappeared and there was only one
link rc.d -> init.d left.
Did I junk something important?

what to hell. did I miss something? Did I link from the link to itself?
I am pretty sure this used to be caught.
I just ran:
ln -s /apache /usr/local/httpd
and it puts in a link /usr/local/httpd/apache.
I could swear this never used to happen and it would always warn you:
"directory exists already."
bash-2.04# ls -l /usr/local/httpd
total 5
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Mar 31 20:00 apache -> /apache
Shouldn't the valid link command have been:
ln -s /etc/rc.d /etc/rc.d/init.d
mk

Hi,
I have been a SuSE user for quite a long time now, but one thing
always puzzled me.
Is the SuSE kernel different from the "normal" kernel served at
kernel.org. It surely was in the 2.2.x branch (ReiserFS ....)... but
what about the suse-kernel from the 7.1-serie vs. the 2.4.3 kernel ?
And if so, where can I see which patches to apply to SuSEify my
brand new kernel ?
