sorry where do you get this from ?

on my machine

 ls -l  /etc/rc2.d/ /etc/rc3.d/ | grep gdm
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  13 2008-05-07 19:48 K30gdm -> ../init.d/gdm
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  13 2008-05-07 19:48 S30gdm -> ../init.d/gdm


Definitely a difference !


I could be mistaken - this is an old box and maybe just maybe I change K
to S, but my understanding is one level is for non X environments
