What about a small patch for /etc/inittab? Something appearing right
above or below the default init line saying, NOTE, THIS NO LONGER
DETERMINES RUNLEVEL, blah blah.  As this comes into beta, I think
there's going to be frequent questions.  



As a sidebar, after learning that, I did a bit of googling.  The Ubuntu
people were apparently slow about documenting it when they implemented
it as well--I got several hits along the lines of, I tried to edit
/etc/inittab but I don't see such a file.  

(One was pretty funny--someone else more or less condescendingly
mentioned it's been replaced, the answer was something like, Sorry, when
the howto says edit /etc/inittab, I figured there would be such a file.)

At any rate, it does seem to boot more quickly though that could be my
imagination.  :)
 
I did note that sysconfig/init isn't documented, which increases my
gratitude for the quick and simple solution that I was given.
