Although most services are properly handled by systemd in f16 now there are a few services that did not have their systemd scripts ready at the point on f16 release. To check which are still on the old system you can do "chkconfig --list" as root and it will give a list of those services which are still on the old system and which runlevels they will start on. For those services "chkconfig servicename on" will get them to start at boot. For service daemons that are fully handled by systemd then "systemctl enable servicename.service" will get them to start at boot. I am running several f16 machines, both i686 and x86_64 and they all have cups running after a boot - -- mike c -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
