Or you can do what I've done to my laptop, and am beginning to do to
some other machines: realise that run levels are a crude system that it
readily abstracted into something a lot more general. I wrote myself a
script rc.mobile:
http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/css/index.html#rc.mobile
for mobile laptops, but it works for nonmobile things too.
Afterwards you don't need to fiddle with chkconfig or those
SXXservice/KXXservice symlinks.
WARNING: be sure you understand how the current system works _first_.
So do it the chkconfig/symlink way _first_ if you've never dealt with
this before.
Consider rc.mobile an interesting exercise for later.
BTW, I tend to turn of kudzu (hardware detection) completely if my
machine config is stable. It takes a long time and is a complete waste
if your machine doesn't change.

I recently saw a crash where a yokel in a lwb Landrover had pulled
out of a junction on a fast road in front of a speeding Volvo (one of teh big
estate cars). The volvo had t-boned it amidshipps at about 60mph The landrover
was badly dented. Need a couple of hours with a hammer to straighten the
panels. The Volvo was urecognisable from the turret forewards.
Brakes? Who cares?
