Ok, now my problem is in not knowing which runlevel is the full run 
but without x runlevel on SuSE.

For my system, this is in /etc/inittab, and the default is set like 
this from a line in it.  In my case, the link used then is the one in 
/etc/rc3.d, but yours may not be a 3 for SuSE.

id:3:initdefault:

So make the link in whatever rc(number) is in that line above on your 
system.

Better Q though, is whyintuncket didn't the installer do that.  If you 
have a utility called checkinstall, it might make this housekeeping 
easier once you get the hang of it.  Oh, when modifying this, one 
should, rather than a full reboot, just switch runlevels to something 
else and back again to restart all the stuff.  But check the systems 
descriptions of runlevels first.  6 is shutdown here for instance :-)

You should also be able to do a "service xinetd restart" and see that 
both on screen, and the results in the log.  If it doesn't say the 
shutdown succeeded on screen, then it wasn't running at all.
