Starting in runlevel 1 should do it. Then you can temporarily change the name of S20lpd to offS20lpd in whatever rc#.d is the one that is used when you normally boot. That would keep /etc/init.d/lpd from running when you boot. When you get it fixed (testing with /etc/init.d/lpd start) you can change the name back to what it was so that it will again run at boot time. It's really just a link, but I don't usually delete them, because I feel I might forget what number it is and mess up the order of when it starts. -- Anita GnuPG key: 1024D/9EDAC910 _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
