I know what you mean, as I do not run redhat anymore on any of my boxes, I cannot supply the required files, but If you can get you're hands on a redhat box, the two files that you are interested in are: /etc/init.d/functions /etc/init.d/rc.sysinit You can see what they do and maybe convert them to work with debian, as they are only bash scripts. >From what I can remember it calls a function called PROMPT (from /etc/init.d/functions) , which allows you to say yes or no to start each service up Hope That helps Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
