Speed Optimisations

Spent some time last night and this afternoon optimising the bootup on the laptop. It now boots from the Lilo screen to a console login prompt in 20 seconds, and it boots from Lilo to the XDM login within 30 seconds. There's just one thing I can't stop running that I don't want. It's something to do with Gentoo's service management. I want to disable it on boot without completely trashing it, but I can't work out WHAT is calling it on boot! If I could just get rid of that it would make a fair old difference to the boot-time.
