Right now I am starting this application by putting following command at /etc/rc.local.
----
touch /var/lock/subsys/local
#chmod 0666 /dev/dsp
su -l netphilic -c "/usr/bin/freevo -fs
----
The freevo application starts however there are few issues
1). Lots of other daemon starts as well, need to remove unwanted daemon so that system comes ups faster. My run level is.
id:3:initdefault:
# System initialization.

Please suggest me, what I can remove.

What is the best way to use fedora as appliance like the one I am doing with very less overhead and faster bootup ? I use that PC just for playing movie, music, photo etc using freevo.
The Grub doesn't stop longer, I set the timer to 0. So the most of the time is spend in loading kernel and starting all these daemons.
---/etc/grub.conf---
#boot=/dev/sda
default=0
#timeout=5
timeout=0
...

2).
I can't shutdown the system from the freevo. (freevo is running as netphilic, not as root).
So I added netphilic in sudoer list
----/etc/sudoers---
## power
Cmnd_Alias POWER = /usr/bin/poweroff, /sbin/shutdown, /sbin/halt
netphilic ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: POWER
----
Now when freevo tries to shut the system using poweroff. It get following error.
------
sudo: sorry, you must have a tty to run sudo
------
Thanks
