Can you observe the boot process and let us know which steps are the

Hi all,
This is the from looking at the GUI boot process as well as
some things while shutting down the system
Starting up :-
Starting RAID Devices
Starting Enterprise Volume Management Services
Starting clock synchronization to ntp.ubuntulinux.org
Now I have no RAID Devices, neither did I install as a server
or something, I did the default installation so why these services are
starting is a mystery to me.
Now while shutting down Ubuntu the following services are
shutting down :-
cupsd
HP Printing Services
Bluetooth services
rsync
AFAIK cupsd & HP printing System are useful if
a printer is installed, I have no printer,
similarly Bluetooth I have no bluetooth devices. rsync would be useful
for wake on lan or something like this which is not needed by me. My
main aim is to use the limited memory to the stuff which I would like to
work with. Also gave a top -I list & it gave 68 services out of which 67
are sleeping & 1 top is the only 1 running. If somebody needs can send
the output for top to him/her. Hoping to get some info. how to shutdown
these services so they don't start up. Also at least how it arrived at
RAID stuff & all when mine is a simple IDE 133 7200 rpm 80 GB
HDD
