[gobolinux-devel] Boot sequence enhancement

[Fábio Mierlo]

I was think in something like that, but a little different.

One file called /S/S/BootScripts/Tasks, where InstallPackage can
"grep" for the task name and if isn't in there InstallPackage will
"echo #$TaskName >> /S/S/BooScripts".

So, the user can "uncomment" the task they want, then BootUp will
start the uncommented tasks and Shutdown will "inversely" stop
these tasks.
