<p style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; margin: 0px;">Yeah,
I meant an init script. You are right that I can't guarantee
that someone doesn't have their /usr partition mounted. But then
again, by the time anything runs in rc.local, every should be
mounted in the fstab. So I don't think it'd be too much of a
problem?</p>

<pre wrap="" class="moz-quote-pre">This is ambiguous. If you mean "rc.d/rc.* script that slackbuild
provides" then it's rather risky. Until /usr-merge is complete you
can't be certain that perl (or whatever unshelled scripting) is already
available (even if the system is yours).
If you mean "*.SlackBuild that builds my slackbuild" then you're
inviting certain painful experiences (probably not worth it).

p.s. From get go I've foreseen that rc.inet* will be crippling. So
I've set on path of home-brew networking. I choose zsh for this.
