Neither of these are the right answer. (a) will cause the /etc/rc?.d links to be put back into place if the package gets upgraded; (b) will put the links back, but at the wrong priority, so xdm would get started before things like cron. Not a huge deal, but it's probably easier to leave one runlevel (say, 5) in the "pristine" state; delete /etc/rc2.d/S99xdm if you don't want xdm to start, and then use 'ln -s' to make a link identical to what's in /etc/rc5.d if you want to bring it back. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
