I am aware of this. That's why I'm starting preload with sequence number 95, which should make it start very late at boot time. > problem when it boots because it is basically based on reading from > disks.

The behaviour you describe makes it sound that you're switching to runlevel 2 after S and then to 4 or 5 and have defined most of the services to start in runlevel 4 and/or 5. The default is to start all services meant to be run in multi user mode on run levels 2-5 and stick to 2 after S. Could you send me the output of "who -r" and files /etc/inittab, /etc/init.d/rcS and /etc/runlevel.conf? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
