The same goes for run-level directories 3 and 4, if > you want Debian to behave like Fedora (which starts in rl 5). If you're > using kdm or xdm, do the same. Here's another way to accomplish the same (I'm assuming you're running xdm as your X display manager): root# cd /etc/init.d root# update-rc.d -f xdm remove This is sort of like /sbin/chkconfig from IRIX and/or Redhat. If you decide you want to have xdm start only in runlevel 5, you can add back the start like like this: root# cd /etc/init.d root# update-rc.d xdm start 5 . stop 0 1 2 3 4 6 . This will create a start symlink for runlevel 5 and stop symlinks for runlevels 0-4 and 6. NOTE the "." which ends the list of runlevels for both start and stop. man update-rc.d(8) for more info. -- scot _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?
