Hi. I used to swear by ntsysv. RH/FC come with two tools to do that for you: o "chkconfig" is a command line tool to add/remove/change boot options (this requires that your init scripts have appropriate lines for chkconfig to understand). o "setup" has a section for system services, which allows you to specify which ones start or not at boot time, much like ntsysv did "back in the day".
