5.2-RC2 customize questions

I have installed 5.2RC2 on i386 and have all of it working well (including 
ACPI with HTT)

Since I am much more familiar with the 4.x flavor, is there any web area 
that explains the following:

1. it seems alot of startup was moved to /etc/rc.d...thats cool, but I dont 
see the connection as to how things in there are being invoked?

2. How can I get rid of the boot menu and boot 5.2 like 4.x ?

3. I built a custom kernel and chose to incorporate 'hints' within the 
kernel and that seems to work, but I noticed alot of modules still get 
built for devices I didnt include or list (like scsi and sound)...how can I 
effectively remove devices I dont have ?

..other than this (so far)..I am very pleased at the performance!

thanks.
