Fedora Core 3 seems to have a lot of services running in the default

set up on an old PII 400 with very little memory, so I'd like to
eliminate whatever's not necessary.
Specifically, it safe to disable the following:
readahead
sendmail
xinetd
cpuspeed
nfs_lock
rpc*
This box wont be using NFS at all, and I can't see any reason why
sendmail
should be running on anything other than a dedicated mailserver.
xinetd similarly seems useless on a desktop computer.
This might be a little extreme, but here are all the services I have
running, For a simple desktop you don't need much. No sendmail and I
don't run cron either. I'm still trying to figure out how to dump xfs.
hpoj
syslog
network
cups
xfs
iptables
haldaemon
messagebus

John, I'm pretty sure that one only needs hpoj if one has an HP
multifunction Scanner/printer/fax/copier device connected to the system
and wants to have access to more than just printing capabilities of the
unit.
