adding a startup script to /etc/init.d??

Back in 6.4 to add a startup scipt for init all you had to do was place it in /sbin/init.d and then make Sxxscript Kxxscript links in the run-level dir tree off init.d. I know the locatation has changed to /etc/init.d but it seems that the process must have changed also as I can't get it to work doing the same thing as I did in 6.4. Whats the new trick?? Yes I've read some of the docs. The only thing different that I see is something about insserv. Is that the key to getting this to work. It doesn't seem to help me. -- Mark Hounschell dmarkh@cfl.rr.com
