i'm just chaning over from fedora to slackware and i've done my install and now i've got a few questions

in fedora to start a service i either have to run one of two commands

service *service name* start

of ./etc/init.d/*service name*

how do i start them in slackware?

also i'm not sure if this is the same program or not, before i used to use vnc to connect remotely and now i have setup what appears to be some kinda of vnc server or desktop shareing utility but when i connect the screen size wont go any bigger than 800 x 600 when i know the screen size will go higher?

For services, you start them as
/etc/rc.d/rc.*service name* start | stop...

For the vnc thing, could you ellaborate ? What is your vnc client and if you
connect from slackware or to slackware

thanks, and i'm useing real vnc on a windows machine, and on the slackware i'm useing desktop sharing thing in the control centre

also, how do i get KDE to start up automatically rather than booting into the command line and then typeing startx?

on starting the service: as root you can run pkgtool from the command line and one of the choices is start up services. you can see what is on or off that way.

i've gone into it and i see how i can choose my default windows manager, but i can't see how i can set it to start in X not the command line.

and are thetre any command line editors in slackware other than vi?

as for editors, you can try pico .. it's much easier (at least for me =] ) the vi
