What you're probably referring to is an INIT manager called Aask. It performs the same function as init/cdev 2.0 (shareware) and init-picker (commercial). It's part of a commercial package that displays the icons of the init's that you want to load. If you click on one, an X appears over its icon and then you can continue (it will keep these init's off until you change them again) or you can click on the temp button where it will remember the previous settings and ignore these for the next time you reboot. I can get more info if you really NEED to know. MacWorld (I think Oct. issue) discussed these init's and others. --Willi In article <1310@mit-amt.MEDIA.MIT.EDU> you write: >and as the guy booted his mac (ie, before the demo) his inits showed >up in this sort of window that allowed him to select which ones to >...
