Have you looked in rc.M as well? A lot of it is the execution of the other rc scripts in /etc/rc.d if they're executable. I always chmod -x the scripts that start services I'm never going to use. I always end up chmod -x to some of them... I only have That might help you a little bit and it's a lot easier and safer than removing the calls from rc.M because nothing will get done if you've chmod -x. Here is my /etc/rc.d but keep in mind that I have a laptop with PCMCIA:

I'm not saying to match your rc.d with mine. I don't use apache or mysql and I have custom wireless scripts and a custom kernel. Do a little digging to see what each of those services does and whether or not you want to go without something. Best part is if you mess up all you have to do is chmod +x to get your service back (and call it: /etc/rc.d/rc.service restart).
Two things I always comment out of rc.M are the calls for fc-cache and ldconfig. You only need ldconfig when the software on the computer changes. Unless you're constantly playing with software it's not something that is necessary at every boot. fc-cache simply indexes the fonts that you have "installed" in folders that system expects there to be fonts. Unless you're adding and removing fonts every session then it's probably something you don't need to run at startup all the time. That should save some time off startup, especially ldconfig.
That being said, however, I would get into the habit of running ldconfig && fc-cache whenever you play with software and fc-cache if you add or remove fonts.
EDIT: Compiling a custom kernel might get you an extra few seconds off your boot. When I'm waiting to enter my login password, I can get up to a KDE desktop ready to work in under 50 seconds from turning it on... and KDE is slower to load than the rest...
Good luck. |
