How to stop unwanted servrices during boot

[Shawn Milo]

I think that the recommended way to do this is to chmod -x the scripts you do not wish to have executed on startup. So, to disable the samba service, for example, you would type:

chmod -x rc.samba

I am at work on a Windows machine right now, so I don't have the specific path information, but I think those scripts are somewhere in /etc/rc.d.
