Problem: The default installation setup some unneeded services like pcmcia or sound or cpuspeed
Solution:
- log into your server as root
- run
/sbin/chkconfig --list
to see active services - run
/sbin/chkconfig --level 2345 pcmcia off
to disable pcmcia cause a server does not have pcmcia - edit the /etc/modprobe.conf and switch off sound-modules with
alias "name-module" off
- run after reboot
#/sbin/lsmod
to control the disabled sound modules if they are not seen they are not active - NOW you have reduced memory load and processes at cpu can speed up your CPU and save energy (at my Epia 533Mhz may be 3Watts at hour)
