Hello
I just installed slackware 10 and there are some things that bug me Everything is running fine but there are some things that I haven't figured out yet. So far I'm very impressed with slackware
1. How can I start services like in sys V init debian? (so that they accept stop/restart/start) For example apache: since the scripts in /etc/rc.d also define the starting services, how can I start apache without having it start automatically at boot? Since I will have to give /etc/rc.d/rc.httpd execute rights to start it, but then it will also start at boot... This whole BSD init system still feels a bit weird.
2. How can I bind ls to ls --color for example? I can't find a bash.bashrc anywhere.
3. I've tried to remove all unnecessary services but I don't really know what some things are:
rc.serial rc.yp rc.sysvinit --> what are those? If I don't have any sysvinit scripts installed I can propably remove it?
Also, it is ok to remove rc.inetd from autostarting? (If i'm not running any services)
4. How can I get vim to use backspace "normally" in edit mode? (it was like that as default in debian) Now I have to select each letter and press delete.
