	   READ THIS BEFORE CHANGEING SOMETHING IN RC-SCRIPTS PACKAGE

1)
	consult all major changes with people on pld-rc-scripts@pld-linux.org
mailing list. This is very important.

2)
	use 'local' for local variables in functions for example:

function_ble ()
{
local qw er=0
qw=$(tty)
er=/dev/console
echo "$qw $er"
}

3)
	use $() instead `` for command execution for example

something=$(whoami)
instead of
something="`whoami`"

Warning! The following snippet will not work, use `` in such cases:
There is one ')' too many there.

interfaces_boot=$(
	case $i in
		*ifcfg-lo) continue ;;
	esac
)

4)	don't use sed ! It only causes one more Requires.
	Use awk ' { gsub(/pattern/,"replaced"); print $0; } ' for that.
	Also try to replace grep calls with awk calls.
