Hi everyone, I got an O2 from work as they were going to scrap it. I bought a 73gig drive off of Ebay with Irix 6.5 and a TON of software already installed. So my questions are when I boot up the system there are a lot of things the system starts up that I don't need, so how can I disable them from starting up without removing them.

Another question is some of the software such as Maya is locked to another systemid, so how can I work around that.

And the last one (for now at least) is my PROM is 4.18, can I install 128Meg memory modules in my system as I read somewhere that you need 4.4? I tried running flashinst -T -y /usr/cpu/firmware/ip32prom.image and I get back bad PROM revision.

Thanks for any help you guys can provide.

Hello, PROM version 4.18 is the latest so you're fine to add 128MB modules. You can diasble startup items with the 'chkconfig' command.

You can disable startup items via 'chkconfig <item name> off' eg. chkconfig sgi_apache off
