stopping services from loading

[Michael Havens]

I was watching bootup and it seems I have a bunch of unnecessary services  
starting at boot.
- PCMCIA
- RAID
- hcid
- sdpd
- SAMBA
- HP Linux Printing and Imaging
I'm not wireless (PCMCIA), I'm not backing up across multiple drives  
(RAID), I don't need BLUETOOTH (hcid/sdpd), and I'm not connected with a  
Windows box, neither do I have a  an HP Printer/Scanner.

Am I correct in what I think these services do? Which file do I need to  
comment these entries out of. Perhaps this is what is slowing things down.  
What do you think?
