a short survey shows to me that the packages are identical, contentwise.
i assume someone renamed initscripts because it clashes with some naming  
conventions. iirc opkg totally lacks any means to handle this kind of  
conflicts, you are forced to manage that manually.

probably something went wrong in the build process? you should definitley  
file a bug report at the fso tra

well, at least the sshd should run already, fso-gpsd should be started  
rather late.
login to the fr and remove
initscripts
then do
ls -R /etc/rc* > /tmp/alogfile
and post content of that file, if a reboot still does not work.

with the initscripts packages conflicting, there's probably some kind of  
deadlock.

nope. i do use debian with fso, which works different (and anyway i did  
never flash any images).
