Some questions

[Gaenya]

1. How do i make sure isapnp is run when system boots?.

2. how do i load modules at boot?, because i have to configure my nic every time i boot.

3. how do i change my run level?, cause im booting directly in Xwindows and that must cause problems some times.

TIA

For your first two questions, just put the commands you use to load your modules or start isapnp in your /etc/rc.d/rc.local

The runlevel can be changed through editing /etc/inittab. It's normally very well commented, and from there if you read it you'll figure it out. Generally you want to edit the following line:

id:4:initdefault:

In this case, the 4 means I'm in runlevel 4. To switch runlevels, just change the number. As I said, read the inittab file to figure out what runlevels are available in your distribution. Then when you're done, type "telinit n" where n is the runlevel you want to change to.
