Then use rcconf which has less dependencies (perl and whiptail). It does exactly as suggested above: * remove existing symlinks * add stop with priority 0 * remember original priorities when enabling them later on And the last point is actually very convenient. So I don't really see the added value in a disable function for update-rc.d, because update-rc.d doesn't remember the priorities. http://packages.debian.org/unstable/admin/rcconf -Olaf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
