If you are using SuSE 9.2 or 9.3 it will not work that way. If you want
to reorder the start sequence of the scripts take a look at the
beginning of the scripts and look for the Requires: line. This
determines which scripts run before others. Simply changes the links
will not keep after SuSEconfig is run.
