Samab and init.d

[Reid, Rowan (GSP)]

I think my runlevel is set to 2, you 
change that with init = ? or somethign like
that.  I don't have x installed, previoulsy
going to runlevel 3 would start xdm, or kdm
I still don't understand why you wouldn't want to
put it in initd.conf I'm still getting used to 
linux so bear with me.

Yep, that's right....
BUT: only things starting with S, will (S)tart, a K, indicates (K)illing the
process.
(Have a look at runlevel 0, and see what's killed/started).
