Have a look at this link, its for Fedora 7 but most of it applies to FC6.
http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-services-f7.html
What I usually do to cut down on services in Fedora is go into
/etc/init.d as root. Run "chkconfig --list | grep :on". This should
print a list of services and show what runlevels they start/stop at.
Then I usually turn of 10 to 15 of them like this.
# for x in bluetooth btseed bttrack cups cups-config-daemon firstboot ;
do chkconfig $x off ; done
My list is usually much longer than that but you get the idea. I don't
know how much ram it will save you but your boot time should definitely
speed up a bit. The link has descriptions of what each service does. Or
else just "less" the init script and it should have a short explanation
at the top.
