[Fedora-xen] hald, dbus-daemon (messagebus service) - does a guest domain need those?

Hi!

I've noticed that a guest domain installed using xenguest-install.py has the HAL daemon and mesagebus dbus-daemon daemons active, eating up memory.

Are those daemons really needed for minimal server installation? AFAIK, they are related to management of hardware and for desktop environments, while a guest domain is usually:

  1. run on "virtual hardware" (no hot plugged devices, the hardware
     seen from the domain's perspective is quite uniform)
  2. used for server, not dekstop environments

I've disabled those 2 services, rebooted the guest domain and it works fine - so is it OK to disable those permanently? Or do I risk some problems occuring?

Maybe it's a good idea to make Anaconda disable those services upon install by default?
