You're correct, I should have used chkconfig to turn it off. But, I looked at "chkconfig --list" and didn't see NetworkManager, since it is now managed by systemd. So, I did things the hard way (rm the links that systemd uses). I now understand that systemd would have been invoked by chkconfig. Just to clarify, NetworkManager is not running (exactly what I want). But DBUS wants to talk to NetworkManager, so I get a 60 second wait at boot time. I'll restore the original configuration files, use chkconfig, and see if things go better.
