[CentOS] Cleaning Up My Process Table

I'm upgrading my primary server from RH 7.2 to CentOS-4.3.ServerCD. I
REALLY like the ServerCD. Who needs all the fluff that comes with a
standard distro? If I want a system-config-gooey I can run Xnest [1]
and ssh -X from my laptop. Anyway I have two questions:

1) How can I collectively stop all the NFS, portmap, whatever? I'm hoping
it can be manipulated as a group because occationally I actually will
want to use NFS.

2) Can I safely turn off dbus, hal, and/or xfs? Or will something really
bad happen if I try to run the system-config-gooey's without them?

Thanks,
Mike

[1] Although I haven't managed to figure out how to run it without -ac.
