That's only true for SysV-style init. For the one that comes with
Slackware, you don't need to do any links or any of that SysV stuff.
Ignore what LWQ says about the rc.* files, they are for SysV init
and don't match what you have on your system.
You only really need to figure out a working startup command for qmail,
and include that in the rc.local file, and you're set.

I think you're meant to replace RCDIR with /etc/rc.d -- however, again
that works only with SysV init scripts, which would have a file called
<something>sendmail in one of the directories. It wouldn't exist in
your system. Instead, the corresponding command to start sendmail is
in the rc.M file (probably that anyway), which you need to comment out.
To reiterate:
1) find the sendmail startup command in one of the files in
/etc/rc.d/rc.*, probably rc.M, and remove or comment that out
2) include the qmail startup command in /etc/rc.d/rc.local (or
rc.M if you prefer that)
And that's all you need to do as regards to starting qmail at system
startup.
