rc-scripts is a derivative of the initscripts 3.78 release by
RedHat Software, but with bugs removed and newer features added.

To use rc-scripts you need packages such as: mktemp, modutils
(at least 2.1.121), textutils, sh-utils, mawk (at least 1.3.3;
other awk implementations are not tested), procps, sed, e2fsprogs,
gettext.

If you want to use networking with rc-scripts you need
compile few features such as:

Networking options  --->
	 [*] Kernel/User netlink socket
	 [*]   Routing messages

into your kernel and install Alexey Kuznetsov iproute2 package.
To use IPv6 networking you should compile:

Networking options  --->
	<*/M>   The IPv6 protocol (EXPERIMENTAL)
	 [*]      IPv6: enable EUI-64 token format     
	 [*]        IPv6: disable provider based addresses 

too. 

Other required or suggested packages:
