upstart problems

Oke, i did some more testing now and i got GDM to boot up way quicker
than ever before. (on fedora and in my experience) in
/etc/event.d/prefdm i commented out all lines so that i can control
everything myself in a init script.

In /etc/rc5/d i added a script with the name:
S27startgdm (chmod to 777) with this as the content: (don't know if
it's all good but works)

#!/bin/sh

case "$1" in
  start)
    exec /etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon
    ;;
  stop)

    ;;
  *)
    echo "Usage: $(basename $0) <start|stop>"
    ;;
esac

Try it out yourself!
Now to speed up things more you can do a few other things which i will
also all test out

1. Add preload (just added here)
2. disable services that you don't use
3. customize the kernel for your needs only (advanced stuff)

For No. 3 that is a hard one which i'm gonna try to do now.. most
speedups can likely be gained in there because the kernel is taking up
a lot of time at boot and udev than hooks in a lot of stuff in the
kernel. If you build all the modules in that udev includes than you
get a lot speedups there.

This is getting more interesting by the minute ^_^
