Hi

Been fiddling with a installation of Fedora 7 Test 2 from the Live CD 
and it still enables way too may daemons by default. The following 
deserve special mention.

Hardware specific - Bluetooth (along with hidd), cups (FC6 even had 
smartcard daemon by default). Should check and enable on demand

Definitely superfluous - firstboot, livecd. Should disable after first 
run completely or even remove the packages.

Extra - cpuspeed. mdmonitor, netfs, ntpd, portmap. Can't see a reason to 
enable these by default.

Default? - Possibly NetworkManagerDispatcher since 
NetworkManager is enabled by default

Exim should probably replaced with something like esmtp or ssmtp in the 
live cd. Folks wanting to install a full blown MTA can install sendmail, 
postfix or email on their own.

Comments?
