Service start up order

[gwhitney]

How can you change the order in which the services start? Example:

Running RH 7.0 on a laptop. PCMCIA ethernet card. It tried to bring up eth0 before it starts the PCMCIA card. Therefore, eth0 fails.

Also, probably good information to know. Thanks.

I dunno where RH keeps its startup scripts, but they're normally in /etc/rc.d
IIRC Sys V init has the runlevels as dirs.
ONE dir contains the scrips themselves.
THE OTHERS (something like rc.S/ rc.1/ rc.0/ rc.6/) contain symlinks to the scripts. They're called either S or K (for START or KILL)

So etc/rc.6/S00foobar might be the first script started in runlevel 6 and S99barfoo the lastone.

Don't the NHFs have anything on this subject??
