Debian has no run levels, or rather it does, but levels 2-5 are equivalent and not really used? This confused me.

update-rc.d is the command to configure services to start in run levels.

But can somebody explain how to get a graphical mode (RL 5) vs a shell only mode (RL 3?) type configuration. On my box at home, I just stopped all X services and explicitly start them via startx.

Is there something equivalent to chkconfig for Debian/Knoppix?

I'd like to have some services be on in some runlevels and off in others. In RH/FC I could use chkconfig to set services at different runlevels. How does one do the same with Debian/Knoppix? For example, say I want my webserver (/etc/init.d/apache) to be on in runlevel 5 and off in runlevel 2. In RH/FC I'd do the following:

  chkconfig apache off
  chkconfig --level 5 apache on

Is there something similar in Debian/Knoppix? I'm looking in /etc/ rc* and don't see anything obvious.
