If your suffering from intolerable timeouts, one good thing to do is to
rewrite all of the init scripts so daemons are started in the background.
For examlpe, from the apache start up script in /etc/rc.d/init.d--
It says by default:
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting httpd: "
daemon httpd
echo
touch /var/lock/subsys/httpd
;;
Change it to say
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting httpd: "
(daemon httpd; echo; touch /var/lock/subsys/httpd) &
;;
This will also have the neat effect of speeding up booting whether you're
attached to the network or not.

Issue the command, "ntsysv", and disable all the services you don't want.
Once disabled, they will not start the next time you boot the system.

You can find it at http://www.moongroup.com/unix/linux_stuff.html
The title is linked to O'Reilly's site to read about it and then there's a "buy
it" link on the linux_stuff.html page right next to the book!
You might want to have a look aroung while you're there. It's a growing
resource and I'm making changes all the time.
