Well, I'd like to upgrade her basic system to 11.0. Can anyone save me much messing about tweaking services back and forth by telling me their thoughts on which services I can shut down? (And perhaps how to shut them down if it's not obvious--I typically just put a # in front of the SnnBlahBlah filenames in the /etc/rc.?/ directories.

To inactive a service you may used yast | system | system service/runlevel or by using :

chkconfig servicename off

Shutting down or turning off a service won't remove the binary and supporting libraries. Removing the binary, by hand or by 'rpm -e' may still leave the orphaned libraries. Is there any way to find out if there are libraries that are not being used by any program? I'm sure many of us have installed programs to try them out, been unhappy and uninstalled them 0- but have left the supporting libraries lying around, orphaned and collecting dust and taking up space. Other than the Microsoft method of wipe-and-reinstall what can be done about them? -- Eschew Obfuscation! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
