Hi,

I've thought about that, and IIRC gentoo uses something alike.
Still I'd prefer to not need that.
Sure, we can do lots of nice stuff with it - especially by keeping
status information there, replacing init "live" can be done much
easier.

Sure, I agree. I don't have classic runlevels any more for a long time.
I have two runlevels - "full" and "suspend", and switch these before
and after suspend.
But it would be nice (but surely handleable via an external app) to
support classic runlevels via some mapping - e.g. 1=single 2=full
5=suspend
best regards,
Erich Schubert
