Here's the situation: Installed potato (2.2r2) onto a 486 Compaq laptop and, as has happened before, Zope fails to start. The attempt to start Zope is the single longest step of the boot process, prior to getting "login:". I'd like to skip starting (and failing to start) Zope.
Here's the solution I'm trying. Change default init run-level from 2 to 3, and remove Zope start from run-level 3. Changing default run-level to 3 was easy; my /etc/inittab has: id:3:initdefault: I'm stuck at removing Zope from run-level 3. In ``man update.rc-d'' there's a REMOVE section, and it tells about using "-f" to remove a rc_runlevel_.d link even though the script hasn't been deleted. But the syntax for REMOVE seems to remove the program from all run-levels (whereas I'd simply like to keep from starting Zope temporarily, and would like to go back to a default run-level of 2 after Zope can be started without "...........................................failed"). Syntax: update-rc.d [-n] [-f] name remove How to remove Zope from only/just run-level 3? * * *
