Tweaking Mandriva

Yes, that's the one, based on the feature I listed with the --list parameter :D

 

Some other things I do on a normal system is this:

 

urpme kat
urpme lisa
urpme portmap nfs-utils-clients
urpme pcmcia-cs

 

of course, removing kat as everyone suggests. Lisa too, because I don't need it for giving me a network neighbourhood like in Windows. Portmap and nfs-utils-clients, because I'm not using nfs systems and lastly pcmcia-cs because I'm not using any pcmcia items. Of course, leave this if you are.

 

This is my current service listing:

 

[root@europa ian]# chkconfig --list

xfs			 0:off   1:off   2:on	3:on	4:on	5:on	6:off

 

I've also disabled cpufreq and rawdevices because they weren't working on my system anyway. Cpufreq is for frequency scaling, I believe to cut the power to the processor when it's idling and not being used. Rawdevices I'm not entirely sure about, but since it wasn't running, disabling it didn't harm anything on my system. If you're not running a laptop, you won't have laptop-mode, vmware if not using vmware-player and wine if wine isn't installed. Netfs is normally used in conjunction with nfs, so this was disabled. I couldn't remove, because it would want to remove a whole host of other stuff that I required.

 

Good command to use if you want to free up services and remove them is:

 

[root@europa ian]# rpm -qf /etc/init.d/netfs
initscripts-7.61.1-50mdk

 

this shows that the netfs service is part of the initscripts. This to me sounds important, which is why I've not removed it. But using this, can show you what service is part of what package, and then remove accordingly.
