Andy, read the "man"ual page for "ln", type "man ln" at a shell prompt.
OR if memory serves me correctly (normally it doesn't so be careful!)
try this:
$ ln -s /etc/init.d/gdm /etc/rc3.d/S99gdm
Of course, this example assumes that the script is in runlevel 3. The
file "S99gdm" is now "symbolically" linked to the actual file "gdm".
When linking files be careful of absolute and relative path names...and
READ THE MAN PAGE!
