Please help me with turning off unneeded daemons.

Hello,

I've recently installed FC3 sans-gui (although there still is a basic
X11 gui for some reason) and I would like to turn off all the unneeded
daemons on my system. I'm coming to the list because I'm not familiar
enough with the system to know exactly which daemons can be turned off
and which cannot. I've already made a *few* changes but not as nearly
as many as I'd like.

Here are some specifics about the servre that should help determining
the needed daemons. (The output from chkconfig --list can be found at
the end of this email.)

* I don't need a gui at all.
* I don't need printing.
* I have two harddrives connected via IDE. (No SCSI, no RAID.)
* I will be doing web development using Apache/PHP/MySQL
* SNMP will be used
* All things relating to email will be used.
* FTP will be used.

I think that about does it.


Your help is appreciated greatly!

Chris.
