How do I get a script entered into /etc/rc.d/init.d to start and stop as

why not just add those services to run level 3 (and 5, assuming that you also
use the X gui login from time to time) ?
You can either create the soft links manually, or use tksysv to do it for you.

It is my understanding that init level 4 is unused. I know you can do about

or you can skip the gunzip command and do:
tar xvzf filename.tar.gz
once tar has unarchived the package you cd into the newly created directory and
there should be README and INSTALL files to read. typically, though, you can
'cd' into root and then run:
/configure
then
/make ; make install
of
type
