I just checked: I wanted to be sure that I did not write something wrong in my comment. Ok, positive: what I wrote is right.
All I can say more is that /etc/rc.d in my system (SuSE 8.0) is a folder with an icon that shows a little arrow on the lower-left corner; I am not an expert about computers, but I think that the meaning of this kind of icon is that it just links to something else. Indeed, as I click on it, /etc/init.d comes out.
I do not know the meaning of all these strange names, files and folders.
Is it useful to you, at least?
