Hello,

I recently made a backup of my root partition before installing XFree86 4.0.
I was very unimpressed with it, and after trying to remove it everything went
down hill. Rather than fight with it for a week I decided to restore from
backup.

The restore went great and everything seems back to normal, except one thing.
I can't do anything with my Startup Services in DrakConf. At first I would
get a list of services. I would try do disable it, but when I did an init
1/init 5 the service would still start. For some reason or another the change
wouldn't stick.

I then remembered that I had some freshly compiled drak-related RPMS on my
system. I upgraded the RPMs and now I don't even get a list of services when
I click on the Startup Services icon in DrakConf.

I don't care if I have a happy GUI way to get at configuring the services,
but does Mandrake provide a console utility to start/stop services? If not,
does anyone know how I can rebuild the list? Thanks...

-Chris
