Hi (This message is part of a long running saga - "Dave displays his ignorance") I'm setting up an Intranet server based in Suse 8.0. I've not installed X windows. I want to change the boot options eg run Apache. I'm trying to add entries in /etc/init.d/rc3.d using ln -s /etc/init.d/rc3.d/S30apache -> ../apache but all I get is error messages. Should I have a file called S30apache before I link it? I've managed to do this before and I think I'm doing something silly ..... but what? Dave I
