Hi Glen,
your best bet would be to take the init scripts -- and throw them away. ;)
If you're doing a special-purpose distro, and don't care about the
niceties of portable and easily configurable "this daemon runs after that
one" settings, then replace the entire /etc/rc* directory set and scripts,
with something like this:
fsck [parameters]
mount -o remount,rw /whatever /disks /youve /got
httpd
It'll take some tweaking of course, but that should run a bit faster than
11 seconds.
