7.6.8. The rc.site File
The optional /etc/sysconfig/rc.site file contains settings that are automatically set for each SystemV boot script. It can alternatively set the values specified in the hostname, console, and clock files in the /etc/ sysconfig/ directory. If the associated variables are present in both these separate files and rc.site, the values in the script specific files have precedence.
rc.site also contains parameters that can customize other aspects of the boot process. Setting the IPROMPT variable will enable selective running of bootscripts. Other options are described in the file comments. The default version of the file is as follows:
# rc.site
# Optional parameters for boot scripts.
# Distro Information
# These values, if specified here, override the defaults
#DISTRO="Linux From Scratch" # The distro name
#DISTRO_CONTACT="[email protected]" # Bug report address
#DISTRO_MINI="LFS" # Short name used in filenames for distro config
# Define custom colors used in messages printed to the screen
# Please consult `man console_codes` for more information
# under the "ECMA-48 Set Graphics Rendition" section
#
# Warning: when switching from a 8bit to a 9bit font,
# the linux console will reinterpret the bold (1;) to
# the top 256 glyphs of the 9bit font. This does
# not affect framebuffer consoles
