A bug? A feature!
Seriously, the user (after editing by hand /etc/rc.local) must save it
with "setup -s" or (economizing) "setup local store".

During Setup execution, the variable in the corresponding .cnf are
actives: Setup will save any change ( if you didn't removed the 'save'
line in prepare() ).

The only workaround I know, is to maintain the two file *identical*, using
the setup -s trick. Please, take a look to the setup/local help screen
===================================
If your answer to next question is "YES", muLinux allow you
to edit this file now. Anycase, you can edit yourself this file when
boot finished: muLinux will save it when you do "setup -s".
