5.17. Selecting Available Services at Boot Time

Note

This step is generally ignored for Recommended mode.

You may now choose which services you wish to start at boot time.

Here are presented all the services available with the current installation. Review them carefully and uncheck those which are not always needed at boot time.

Tip

You can get a short explanatory text about a service by selecting a specific service. However, if you are not sure whether a service is useful or not, it is safer to leave the default behavior.

At this stage, be very careful if you intend to use your machine as a server: you will probably not want to start any services that you do not need. Please remember that several services can be dangerous if they are enabled on a server. In general, select only the services you really need.
