[RULE] FWD: Reducing Boot Time

[M. Fioretti]

Just read on the Fedora users list. Useful as a guide to know which
services must be left running and which ones can be removed (with
chkconfig) to reduce boot time and generally reduce the needed stuff:

-- forwarded message --

Here are the services that I run on my desktop FC3 system. Perfectly 
functional, except that I have scripts that I run myself that replace 
the normal cron scripts.

syslog
network
cups
xfs
iptables
haldaemon
messagebus

Boots from power off to level 3 login prompt in 41 seconds (including 
the grub timeout).

----- End forwarded message -----

I (Marco) would just recommend to add, or better keep in, either
anacron or cron for cron jobs, and an SMTP server (postfix or sendmail
or exim) because several daemons and system script rely on a local
mail server to inform by email the sysadmin if something goes wrong

Ciao,
Marco
