AFAIK, runlevels are coming with initscripts package, not sysvinit - you can overwrite that with IMAGE_INITSCRIPTS variable. But then you'd have to manage startup scripts yourself, as many recipes hook into update-rc.d through INITSCRIPT_PARAMS. > Also, I couldn't find the "?=" operation in the bitbake manual so I assumed it > a condition statement and is overridden of the variable is defined, it this > true? Theodore A. Roth is kind enough to help with the documentation. Earlier today he sent the patch to the bitbake mailing list with the following text: Setting a default value (?=) A ?= "aval" If A is set before the above is called, it will retain it's previous value. If A is unset prior to the above call, A will be set to aval. -- Denys
