It is the first script run by init:
:~$ ls -l /opt/x2gothinclient/etc/rcS.d/S00ramdrive

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18  5. Jun 2010
/opt/x2gothinclient/etc/rcS.d/S00ramdrive -> ../init.d/ramdrive

I assume this link is created from the maintainer scripts in one of the
x2go thinclient packages, as well as the ramdrive script itself and so
on. In my case I modified the ramdrive script a bit.

These services don't need to run on the thinclient, I removed the
startup links trying to save a little time during boot.

It would be better to use update-rc.d instead of rm -f though..

I can't remember why I did this, maybe to circumvent some kind of bug
due to services being started in the wrong order.

I remember e.g. kdm crashing if ntp changes the system time at a
specifig time during kdm's startup.
