That depends on which services you don't think you need. You can run
in single user mode (run level 1), but you probably want some things
from run level 3. You probably want a network, in which case you
probably want a firewall of some sort.

Fire up system-config-services, and uncheck and stop services you
don't think you need. Then try it. You can always turn them on again
later.

Then again, why start them up manually if you know you will want them?
