You got it, but why do it manually? use the update-rc.d program. Keep in mind that your /etc/inittab defines your default run level. The run level corresponds to the 'X' in /etc/rcX.d. Whatever symlinks are in the dir will cause the linked scripts to be executed in the appropriate manner and order by initd. Read the /etc/inittab file. It's the config file for initd. As long as your inittab file is untampered with, it should be highly commented with good info regarding run levels and other init stuff. Jason
