Booting up is kind of slow in my laptop. I was trying to speed up the process by eliminating some of the services that come installed by default. The first time I tried I managed to access the configuration window in antiX Control Center > System > Choose Startup Services

Now I cannot access it any more. When I click, it asks me for my root password but after I introduce it nothing happens.

Can anybody tell me how I can recover access to this functionality? I installed Gnome as an alternative desktop and I can access the configuration of startup services if I login in a Gnome session. What's curious is that I can see a selection with a lot fewer services than I could see when I was able to access the antiX 'Choose Startup Services'

Thanks in advance for your help.

Try this, open a terminal and;

Thanks eriefisher,

I just did that. I get an error message saying"command not found".
I checked with synaptic and I noticed that sysvconfig is already installed, though and I also noticed that if I marked it for installation again, the name of the utility to be removed was 'chkconfig', not 'sysconfig'. So I wrote 'chkconfig' in the command line and I got a list of services and processes, some marked as 'on', some marked as 'off'.

Is that what you were suggesting I do?

OK, I answer myself. I'm a little confused as to what happened but I managed to fix the problem. When I marked 'sysvconfig' to be installed, 'chkconfig' got uninstalled and then 'sysvconfig' came back.
