Fedora Core 4 - how do i stop unnecessary programs from starting up at boot time?

On Fedora Core 4, how do i disable stuff that starts up at boot that is uneccessary like
"starting e-mail transport" or "starting printing system"?

/sbin/chkconfig <service_name> off

To see the available choices,

/sbin/chkconfig --list

If you're a complete newbie to Linux and Fedora, and run a GUI, try system-config-services... friendlier to the eye, equally usable (well, console is faster, actually)

Thanks jcliburn, that worked:

Code:

chkconfig sendmail off

I can't imagine that i would need sendmail activated when i'm not using any kind of mail service...?

Sendmail is used for system's notifications on login, the system sends root an e-mail with a summary of changes and information in the system's log file(s)
