finishing and cleanups

I've finished the configuration section of the howto, and cleaned up the rest of it, replacing as many

cd /path
do something with a file in /path

with

do something with /path/file

as I could - is best to use full paths if possible to avoid ambiguity

--Fremen - dunno when (forgot to add the date/time when I added this comment)

Start/Stop openmosix Daemon

Within Gentoo, you can add openmosix to the default runlevel by using the following also

# rc-update add openmosix default

It is not recomended to add openmosix to the boot runlevel unless you want to alter dependencies of other startup scripts

although:

/etc/conf.d/local.start happens at the very end of the boot runlevel just before the default runlevel

/etc/conf.d/local.stop happens after the default runlevel has stopped.

It is safe to use local.start and local.stop or use rc-update but not both.

I have used all methods in the past but have openmosix in the default runlevel at present using rc-update the other method has been used in various diskless booting tests i have done.
