[gentoo-user] sysconfig

[gentoo-user] sysconfig

[Allan Spagnol Comar]

Maybe this is a stupid question for the list, but I was wondering
about and try some search at google and I don´t find the reason why
gentoo hasn´t /etc/sysconfig folder .....

some one on the list could enlight me !!! show me where to look and
the reasons that this directory doesn´t exists.

thanks, Allan

/etc/sysconfig is a RedHat invention.  That's where they keep their
distro specific configuration and config files for system
configuration that RedHat has specifically built (G)UIs for.

One of the things I love so much about Gentoo is that it is so
transparent.  There is no distro-level abstraction for system config
files.  There are config files for daemons in /etc/conf.d, and for
various other housekeeping you would expect the distro to take care
of, there's eselect.

You may want to look at rc-update.  It may help some too.  I had to
install Mandriva the other day, needed something on a system real quick,
and I hate that thing now.  Still not sure it is working right and I'm
not sure how to ask it either.

Maybe?  It was Mandriva on the site where I downloaded it from. 
Translation boo boo maybe??  Whatever it is, it drives me nuts.  I want
Gentoo on that machine too.
