I agree. Kudzu and depmod -a should be removed altogether from init
sequence: how often does one adds hardware? Have you read the init
sequence page on the web site?

>run fetchmail to grab my new mail, and then halt."

Yes, but why grab mail and not read it immediately? Could you
elaborate a bit on this?
