Where do I put rc.local to make it run automagically? Or is there some
other script that I should put my local stuff into?

(Sorry, I'm a recent refugee from Fedora Core and little stuff like this
is driving me *NUTS*!)

TIA....

Put it in /etc/init.d, and make symbolic links in the /etc/rc?.d
directories, either by hand or using update-rc.d. Your script should
accept the arguments "start", "stop" or "restart"; you can copy
/etc/init.d/skeleton and add your own commands to it. Or you could make
a crontab entry starting with "@reboot" (see "man 5 crontab").

Specially for refugees there's "debian-reference-*" packages. Among
other questions it covers Debian system boot process in steps. Enjoy
usful reading.
