When I do `install_initd httpd`, it depends on $local_fs, then mountfs
, then checkfs then $time.
So the $time's provider setclock was installed in rcS.d.
Now, I just remove the "Required-Start $time" from checkfs,ntpd, and
add udev to them.
Letting udev provide the $time is better way than I what I did.
