    Seems debian-specific.

    Right now I'm having a problem with UML and
    i found a solution.

    # mount root_fs mnt-uml/ -o loop
    # echo "LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1" >> /mnt-uml/etc/environment
    # umount mnt-uml/

    I'm curious. Is there a way to tell sysvinit to add something
    to the environment, perhaps in inittab?
