Re: [aclug-L] removing stuff from runlevels

[John Goerzen <jgoerzen@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Removing the link is safe.  All of the startup scripts are stored in
/etc/init.d, and the /etc/rc.* files are just links to those scripts.

Also take a look at the manpage for  update-rc.d; it may provide you
with what you want already.
