	I'd agree with Larry.  In my opinion, I feel that scripts of any
sort should rely on the most generic methods possible.  This makes them
more portable from system to system and environment to environment, and
much less susceptible to error due to changes in features within a
certain program.  I've actually worked very hard to make my own boot
scripts generic in this manner.  In doing so, they can be used on any
standard Linux system...and probably most UNIX systems as well.

Good luck,
Thomas Cameron
