This worked just like I was needed. The rc.local was what I needed to create a "gold disk" partition to cover different hardware.

In reply to Liz Thompson.

I fixed things…

/etc/profile can me made executable and allows system wide settings to be made here.

Better yet I wrote a script ‘startup‘ and put in my local ‘bin‘ directory and added it to Mint Mate’s startup programs.

Now I can edit without root permission and set all kinds of things.

Things got crazy when I added the new external monitor HDMI, touchscreen, sound and all needed tweaking.

Linux mint has no rc.d folder, it does have rc0.d, rc1.d up to rc6.d/etc/rc.local does not execute in Linux Mint but is there. There is an /etc/init.d/rc.local that supposedly executes /etc/rc.local but doesn't.

rc.local is obsolete, use systemd instead
