i installed fc3 1 week ago and since some weired things are happening. out of nowhere the hdd starts going off like crazy, the cpu runs at 100%, the temperature goes up. all these are caused by "makewhatis". witch i don't know how it started and why. and worst of all is that i can't kill it! anybody had experience this?

Prelink also hogs the CPU and causes a similar problem as you describe. Rather than disable all of these services, adding preference entries for controlling background processes to run at lower percntages would be a better approach.
A twenty to thirty degree temperature rise caused by a background process bogging down the processor is a bad approach for background processes. Having processes disabled that are useful is not the answer either.
