Is "insserv" a SuSE (United Linux) thing?
(Because it's a damn good thing.)

For me just saying "insserv apache2" as root
 creates all the links from suitably numbered S scripts.

It gets the default levels and dependencies
 from "active comments" in the startup script.

"insserv -r apache2" removes them.

Mind you, if  "/etc/init.d/apache2 start"  doesn't work,
 you have something to sort out before any of this will help you.

Internet Explorer is fine for downloading Firefox,
