This latgest on "uninstall" in this thread is bordering the question I had earlier on "weeding out" unneeded things. Uninstalling a program compiled on a machine seems to work like that indeed. BTW, I got another command (syntax) told: > make clean > make distclean (this from in the dir fro

What is xinetd used for. I thought it was used to start services but have read on some newsgroups to avoid it. Does it work with the startup files in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ folder, is it actually a step up from those scripts and a possible replacement. How do the two work in relation to each other. O
