[Bug 882254] Re: /etc/rc.local is not executed at startup

When installing how, with what version of Ubuntu?  This bug was reported
against Ubuntu 11.10.  The initscripts package in Ubuntu 11.10 includes
an /etc/rc.local file that is marked executable.

No, that does the exact opposite of what you want.
