'Twas brillig, and Robert Fox at 01/12/11 11:59 did gyre and gimble:
+> I have a Cauldron box which doesn't start DM when booted - and when I
+> check in Drakxservices, and check "start on boot" - it doesn't work
+> (resets back to not starting.
+> 
+> Once the machine has started, I can manually start the DM service.
+> 
+> BTW, I am NOT using systemd (although it is installed:
+> 
+> 
+> [root at minifox rfox]# rpm -qa | grep sysvinit
+> sysvinit-2.87-10.mga1
+> sysvinit-tools-2.87-10.mga1

+
+Interesting. It seems we're using systemctl to enable the service on
+this setup rather than /sbin/service...
+
+I'll take a look at this soon.
