Yes, but would the result be significantly more efficient than the
split-up boot scripts?  When this was discussed back when the split-up
happened, the only monolithic boot script option was, loosely speaking,
"cat `rcorder` > /etc/rc".  Has it been improved?

It would be interesting to try a 1.5 monolithic boot script, but I
would definitely recommend upgrading to the 1.4.x boot scripts.

The original poster, of course, will have to make hir own choices.
