Exactly, you can do all kinds of things to make sure it isn't enabled, (I usually add exit 0 to the top of the init script) but not having the software isntalled that you don't use is one of the biggest advantages to a binary based distro like Debian. Its the inability to do this at a sufficiently granular level in *BSD that makes me want to punch through walls sometimes. One of the biggest reasons I still evangelize binary distro's and linux. -- Jamie Heilman http://audible.transient.net/~jamie/ "I was in love once -- a Sinclair ZX-81.
