First, I am using a usb jumpdrive to save my homedir and config files. At bootup I specify myconfig=scan and home=scan. There doesn't seem to be any problems with saving things like browser settings, desktop changes etc. , but I cannot seem to get a startup script to run to activate my network settings (wireless). I've tried creating a sym-link in /etc/init.d, /etc/rcS.d and /etc/rc5.d none of which work. I even ran saveconfig after each link was added.
My jumpdrive is mounted as /mnt/sda1
I have my startup scripts in /mnt/sda1/etc/
The symbolic links I have tried to get working are like this:
in /etc/rcS.d
ln -s /mnt/sda1/etc/S01-network-config.home S01-network-config.home
in /etc/rc5.d
ln -s /mnt/sda1/etc/S01-network-config.home S77-network-config.home
in /etc/init.d
ln -s /mnt/sda1/etc/S01-network-config.home homenet
Does anyone know how to get a startup script to run persistently? If so, I would like to hear about it.
Thanks in advance.
