== Enable/Disable Services with sysvconfig ==

=== Install sysvconfig ===

'''System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager'''

With '''All''' packages selected (the default) scroll down to '''sysvconfig''' and check the box, selecting '''Mark for Installation'''. You will be prompted to "Mark additional required changes ?" for "dialog" to be installed; click '''Mark'''.

In the menu bar of Synaptic, click '''Apply'''. When prompted to apply the changes, click the '''Apply''' button.

Wait for the software to install, then '''File > Quit''' from Synaptic.

=== Run sysvconfig ===

Start up a root terminal ('''Applications > System Tools > Root Terminal''').

Type '''sysvconfig'''

With the blue bar on '''Enable/Disable''' a service, press the Enter key.

Move the scroll bar up and down the list of services. Use the space bar to toggle a service on or off. As of May 2005, a partial description of the services can be found at InitScriptList with other information available at UbuntuBootupHowto. When done, press the Enter key.

Scroll down to '''Finished''' and press the Enter key to save your changes. Press return again to return to the main menu, then select '''Quit'''.
