2. Other usage

This screen may be useful to disable a service temporarily. For example, you configured the named daemon (DNS) and, for some reason, you don't want to start it anymore. Instead of erasing the /etc/named.boot file or renaming it (its presence does trigger Linuxconf to start /usr/sbin/named), you just go here and disable named.

This is easy and it provides a single place to activate/disable most system services.
