Well, I celebrated too soon. After changing my motherboard all was well until I tried to reconfigure my extra parallel ports. I screwed up Cups somehow and now system won't start. Cups fails to start then system Hangs when Samba waits for Cups to start. I have no clue how to configure these things from a command line. I thought I could run YaST from command line, but I can't seem to figure that out either. I am booting from the rescue system. Can someone kindly point me in the right direction? Mark B.
This IS very simple I know, but for me and my $300 worth of Linux books it ain't. What config file do I change to stop Cups and Samba from loading at boot time? I have to make this change from the rescue system command line. I know how to mount my drive. I just don't know what to change. Thanks Mark B. mark bannister wrote:

Since this is a rescue situation, here is what I would do: After booting the rescue system and mount your '/' partition, go to /mnt/etc/init.d and rename cups nmb smb to be smb.sav .... etc. Fire up your system and use YAST2 --> System --> runlevel editor to turn those functions off.. Then rename the above files to their original. That will get you to a point where you can boot again. (I think)
