Actually yast2 works GUI or curses depending on whether there's a DISPLAY
variable set.  There's also the ``insserv'' program that can be invoked
from the command line in the /etc/init.d directory.

System->Runlevel Editor takes you to a GUI where you can enable, disable,
start, and stop individual services.  This also takes care of dependencies
so may start more than you asked for.  You may have to scroll down the
right side of the GUI to see the Runlevel Editor icon.  You will definately
have to scroll down when using the curses interface.

Cutting the space budget really restores my faith in humanity.  It
eliminates dreams, goals, and ideals and lets us get straight to the
business of hate, debauchery, and self-annihilation.
