    Hello,

    I am using an Acer Aspire One with Linpus Linux lite version 1.0.15.E

    I have accidentally deleted my 'rc.local' file from my /etc folder on the harddrive. :roll:

    Will the system reboot OK, or do I need to reinstall this file? I can't find the original file anywhere online and it's not on the system recovery disk either.

    Anyone any ideas?

    Your system will boot OK, the only thing is any changes you made to rc.local will need to be readded. If you just want to re-create rc.local enter these commands:

    sudo -s (you will be asked for your password)
    touch /etc/rc.local

    This will recreate a "clean" rc.local file

    The only "real" commands you need in rc.local are:

    #!/bin/sh

    exit 0

    Any applications, or scripts you want to run after startup, just add before the "exit 0"
