    Yes.

    I don't want to be impolite, but I'd like to ask you to read the manuals
    _before_ you post to this list.

    "A Detailed Look at the Boot Process"
    http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/ref-guide/s1-boot-init-shutdown-process.html

    "Running Additional Programs at Boot Time"
    http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/ref-guide/s1-boot-init-shutdown-run-boot.html

    Thanks!
    Christoph
