Fred, please do not hijack this thread. Either google it or start a
new thread. Thanks.

Again, apologies.  I, like Doten, was under the misimpression that
ubuntu ran under the init run levels 0-6 and S.  As it turns out
Ubuntu/Debian just pass arguements to init (as I am to understand) and
upstart handles the old job of init.  Because of this Ubuntu only needs
runlevels s,0,1,2,6.  I have unsucessfully found any technical
explanation of this process.

I have man'd and info'd - init, telinit, & upstart.  Nothing real
meaningful there.  And now that I have asked I can see where the subject
would have hijacked the thread.  

So, if anyone can point me in a direction or two, Thanx.
