Probably the easiest way is to 'rm /etc/rc2.d/S20apache', etc. as root. There's also an update-rc.d utility which is sort of akin to chkconfig, but it's mostly used by install scripts. A warning: don't delete *all* of the /etc/rc?.d/*foo links, because then on upgrade update-rc.d will decide that the package has never been installed and reinstall the links and start the server under you. > If I see that blankety-blank GDM login on bootup again, I'll ............. Of course, if you have a service that you never intend to use at all, you can very easily remove it.
