Stop the LED player!

If you need to use those GPIO pins connected to onboard LEDs the LED player should be stopped. To do this telnet to the board and with vi open this script file /etc/init.d/rcS

[root@FriendlyARM init.d]# vi rcS
(The beginning of the file omitted)

Thats it. You can also remove  "sleep 1" and win two seconds faster boot time.
