    To my mind, there is too much stuff in /etc/rcS.d/. In particular, I
    don't understand what network applications are doing there. If I boot
    to single user mode, I don't want networking, I certainly don't want
    NFS, etc. So what's all that cruft doing in there? Can anyone explain
    why Debian's runlevel policy seems to have strayed so far from
    traditional System V? Why is xdm/gdm/kdm etc. in runlevel three, for
    example?
