do I really need to insert links into rc?

Hi,

I recently installed SuSE 9.3 on x86, and it seems to contain scripts
"apache2" and "mysql" in the /etc/init.d folder. However, these two (Apache
or MySQL) are not running when I fresh reboot the machine. I am having to
execute a "./apache2 start" and "./mysql start" every time I reboot.

I am a newbie when it comes to unix admin, and I am trying to read up about
the rc scripts and how they link into the scripts under the /etc/init.d
folder. Before I rush and do what appears "natural" to me (create a S?? and
K?? links in the rc?.d), I'd like to find out some basic questions it
raises:

1. Why would the install place the apache2 and mysql scripts under the
/etc/init.d but not have any entries in any of the rc scripts?
2. What do I need to do (anything specific to SuSE) to make the apache and
mysql launch on reboot? Which rcN gets it?

Thanks!
Angus
