Apparently, each of the above programs can be eliminated from boot
startup by deleting the symlink files in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d & rc5.d.
Are there strong reasons to not remove any of the above from boot
startup?
Are there additional programs that could be dropped from boot startup
without affecting the functionality of the SOHO type system outlined?
As Dave Jones mentioned, use "chkconfig" or the gui to disable
services instead of messing with the symlinks by hand.
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).

Thanks, John. Your list of services is indeed pretty sparse and I love
that boot time! Double checking on xfs (X font server), there is no
question as to why it is there. :-)
