I assume you're talking about the init.d feedback in Statler?
Try usplash; I understand it's in the Debian repos.

init.d feedback? No sure whats it called
I m talking about,
When you boot your machine...you see Grub Menu, and after selecting the OS, its shows all the "Text" and eventually it shows GDM....
I'd like all those Text to "Echo off"...
But I will try "usplash" as you mentioned. thanks

usplash is what gives you a boot splash like you see in Ubuntu...W!nd0w$ since NT....Macintosh OS...

^ Sure, if you're fine with not being able to use your ports, keyboard, mouse...
Default setup is for GRUB to be quiet, but for the rest of the startup process to be verbose; I'm not sure how to make this quiet without covering it up with a boot splash.

@ alexander:
UNTESTED but you can try to add a line to the script you want to remove
/bin/date +%F" $(/usr/bin/uptime)" >> /absolut/path/to/my/logfilethen use your computer normally for a day or two and see when it was called.
(i think it is good to use absolute paths just in case $PATH is not set the way you expect it to be)

It's rather easy to disable bluetooth... install rcconf and run sudo rcconf

What he said! You can always edit it back in again as anything you edit out by clicking the space-bar goes to the bottom of the list.

A graphical alternative is Boot Up Manager, unfortunately named 'bum'.

for bluetooth, find the file bluetooth in /etc/default and change the BLUETOOTH_ENABLED line :
BLUETOOTH_ENABLED=0(Tested on Statler)
By the way, I forgot how to disable GDM, thanks
