As long it is possible to start dbus and udev afterwards once I need something that is not working otherwise, I do not see a problem. > you'd be wasting extra power and losing performance becase there'd be no > irq balancing, you'd have no networking, you wouldn't be able to mount > anything via nfs, bluetooth would obviously be right out the window and > system logs wouldn't be updated. I do not need to mount anything via nfs and if I have to, I have no problem by starting some service first or making it persistent if I need it always. The same holds true for bluetooth. Also it is a lot easier to once start all the necessary services or enabling them than finding all services that need to be disabled. It is a lot easier to identify missing services and unwanted extra services. There could even be a command that suggest to start all the services that are more or less always useful like udev, cpufreq, irqbalance or rsyslog. Regards Till
