[SOLVED] remove the network symlinks (/etc/rc.d/rc*.d) & Please help me!

Forget-Me-Not · 11-01-2012, 03:14 AM

I'm doing Chapter 7(Setting Up System Bootscripts)
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/...7/network.html

If a network card will not be used, there is likely no need to create any configuration files relating to network cards. If that is the case, you will need to remove the network symlinks from all run-level directories (/etc/rc.d/rc*.d) after the bootscripts are installed in Section 7.6, “LFS-Bootscripts-20120901”.

And I follow this instruction:
http://sun0.cs.uca.edu/~administrato...s/lfs/ch7.html

I don't know how to remove the network symlinks from all run-level directories (/etc/rc.d/rc*.d)
P/S: I feel chapter 7 which is hard thus I don't sure anything.

Thank you so much!

@Forget-Me-Not: You've marked this as [SOLVED], but you did not post the solution to your problem. Please do so, others might benefit from this if/when they encounter the same issue.

Anyway: Off the zero-reply list.

Well, I did nothing. I didn't remove the network symlinks.

Symlinks are removed like anything else in the filesystem. Delete them like you would a file.

Another thing you can do to disable a daemon in a runlevel is to rename the symlink to have a K instead of an S as the first letter.

Attached file is output installation of lfs-bootscript-20120901.

I just thought that. And I don't know which's right?
Hope you show me! Thank you very much!

It wasn't a right or wrong situation. Both things I mentioned are right to prevent a daemon from starting. I merely mentioned two ways to do the same thing. I thought I was passing along some useful information about init script symlinks, but all I did was inject confusion and make matters worse. I regret that now.

Just do what the book says. If you don't intend to use a network card, then delete the symlinks to /etc/rc.d/init.d/network in all runlevels.

Yes, I will do. Thank you very much!!!
