   I know XON/XOFF since 100 years (or may-be more), but I stupidly
   thought that at boot, Ubuntu behaved like Redhat-like systems,
   for which XON dowsn't work very well.
   I checked that it works perfectly with Ubuntu. Thanks

   Anyway, there is in Redhat like distros an interesting feature
   which seems missing in Ubuntu: typing I at beginning of boot sets an
   interactive mode, i.e.  there is a prompt for each script in init.d,
   asking wether you want to run it or not.
