[lug] Delaying Fedora Service Start

This is a pretty minor problem, but it'd be nice to solve.  On my FC5 
box, I use mpd, the Music Player Daemon, which should be loaded at 
startup.  And, indeed, the mpd service tries to load, but there is an 
ALSA problem or something.  So, after I log in, I usually have to have 
root start the service manually.  Thus, I'm thinking the mpd service 
needs a service which hasn't loaded when it tries on boot.

Since I don't reboot that often, this isn't a big problem, but I 
wondered if there is a way to fix it.  I did check 
system-config-services and I see mpd there, but I don't see a way to 
reorder how they start.

I don't know if it matters, but I boot into runlevel 3.

Thanks for any help,
Matt
