[gentoo-user] what exactly does rc-update modify?

[michael]

I'm ashamed to say that although I've been using Gentoo for awhile now,
and installed on over a dozen computers, I use rc-update without knowing
exactly what it changes.

Right now I'm putting Gentoo on a Compact Flash card for a robot. I have
a parallel setup on a hard disk, and I do all my emerging and
configuring on the hard drive, then copy over just what I need to the
Compact Flash card.

I added a wireless network card, so I ran rc-update to configure it upon
booting. I have a configuration I'm happy with on the hard disk, so the
question is, what files were modified by rc-update that I need to modify
on the CF card?

Thanks,
Michael

P.s. this robot needs a "gentoo inside" sticker...

Argh! I should have checked to see if it was a script. That would have
saved a lot of time.

Thanks!

/etc/runlevels

rc-update itself is fairly simple bash script too.
