I don't think rcconf is installed by default, so you might have to first "apt-get install rcconf". rcconf is Debian specific (also works with other Debian-based distros like Knoppix and Libranet). In the Redhat/Mandrake world, there's "ntsysv" and "chkconfig" which do basically the same thing. regards, Robert -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
