[arch-general] How is process loading configured at boot? rc.sysinit & rc.local?

Listmates,

	How is process loading handled at boot in Arch Linux? I found:

[19:32 archangel:/etc] # ls -1 rc*
rc.conf
rc.local
rc.local.shutdown
rc.multi
rc.shutdown
rc.single
rc.sysinit

rc.d:
<snip>

	But before I started hacking things I thought I would ask where I should put
things generally (rc.local?) and then where to put the services that might need
to be started earlier than rc.local (rc.sysinit?) I thought I would ask before
I make a royal fool out of myself. (I like to minimize those times)

	Also, I have no problems setting the stuff up by hand, but I also wanted to
check if there was any type of automated service manager like chkconfig, just
in case. Thanks.
