Oh, I see. That's not too difficult.  Some of the startup
scripts already have conditional branches.  For example,
have a look at /etc/rc.d/rc.6.

You can get the kernel version by doing:
------------------------------           --------
cat /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease    or     uname -r 
------------------------------           --------

To turn it into a variable (for branching), you can put ` `
around it. 

Cheers,
