[Jason McIntosh <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

That's why generally, for scripts and such, I create a generic startup 
script, and put in the README file "Add this to your startup system.  
This is the typical config on RedHat:".  Primarily because gentoo 
should generally be users who know what they're doing, and SuSE I think 
is so close to RedHat, startup wise, that it doesn't matter.
However, I do believe the LSB - Linux Standards Base I think it's 
called - is working on standardizing the startup and other file 
locations.  That'd be one to consider looking at.
