Im not sure if you can run yast @ run level 1 .. if you can excellent
cause alls youl want to do is run yast goto system admin then select
change configuration this will list all the stuff started by the system
and at startup you can change the yes which is prolly set for personal
firewall to no yast will save the new value and run SuSEconfig to align
the system files...


This will achieve the same result as the solution given above
