Well, for all who are interested, I am running FC8 (haven't had time to
do a full system backup to prepare for FC9) and I have checked all all
of the K** and S** files are where they are suppose to be but telinit
doesn't run them all for some reason.  I have chosen to use run level 4
for the backups and it has all of the K** files but only two S** files
(the way I want it) but when I run telinit 4, it only "kills" two or so
and leaves the others running.
