Originally, if memory serves me, the PCMCIA symlink was "S24pcmcia". To change the order in which services will load, you change their "S" number. # mv S24pcmcia S09pcmcia (in my case) The new value/name doesn't have to be unique by number. Several services can/will have start numbers that are equal. If there is any doubt about other services not loading in the proper order by doing so, it would be best to make the start number for the renamed symlink unique, as I did on mine. Keep in mind that if you change the starting order of services, you may need to change the order in which they are killed during reboot (rc0.d) or shutdown (rc6.d). That's it. HTH, Paul -- Paul M.
