$Id: README,v 1.6.2.1 2000/10/18 20:10:45 misiek Exp $ rc-scripts is a derivative of the initscripts 3.78 release by RedHat Software, but with bugs removed and newer features added. 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 to use rc-scripts. 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. IPX support require ncpfs package; fourtun (v4 over v6 tunneling) support require fourtun package and fourtun kernel module; bridge support require bridge-utils. Also you should know that format of interface configuration files is totally different from these used in RedHat/Mandrake initscripts. If you have some bug reports or suggestions please send email to rc-scripts maintainers at or use our Bug Tracking System ( http://bugs.pld.org.pl/ ). -- PLD GNU/Linux rc-scripts Team,
