It's very easy. :) ,---- [ http://grml.org/faq/#init ] | Where are all the /etc/rc#.d-directories? grml doesn't use sysv-rc | but file-rc. This means you can configure the init system in one | single file namend /etc/runlevel.conf with your favourite editor. No | symlink-hell anymore. `---- You don't have to care about the other files like /etc/runlevel.conf.hdinstall - you can use them to compare your setup with the original one (e.g. /etc/runlevel.conf.hdinstall for harddisk installation of grml). So let's say you want to deactivate cron. Just take your favourite editor and change the line: 89 - 2,3,4,5 /etc/init.d/cron in /etc/runlevel.conf to: 89 - - /etc/init.d/cron Now cron won't be started in runlevels 2,3,4 and 5 anymore. That's it. :) You can use of course Debian's update-rc.d (which is the wrapper around sysvrc and file-rc) as well if you don't want to configure it manually. But running $EDITOR is probably easier than remembering the update-rc.d syntax. ;) > Interestingly, install on a sata/atapi machine with a pcie ati video card was > a breeze, up and running in less than half an hour, and much, much nicer than > the thousand and one debian workarounds, or some of the genuinely eccentric > Kanotix "improvements". :) regards, -mika- -- You like grml?
