Some of us read both groups.

The Mandrake point-n-click way is to run 'drakxservices'. A
quicker way to acheive the same thing is Redhat's 'chkconfig',
which is included with Mandrake.

# chkconfig servicename on

....would be enough. The chkconfig manual is straightforward, I
suggest the OP read this first.
