Update....

I have solved the screen timeout thanks to an earlier post from ArnimS (Thanks)

I have set the screen PS timeouts to 10 hours a piece using the following commands:

gconftool-2 -s "/system/osso/dsm/display/display_dim_timeout" 36000 -t INT
gconftool-2 -s "/system/osso/dsm/display/display_blank_timeout" 36000 -t INT

I would be interested in a absolute minimum list of daemons in /etc/rc2.d in order to support ONLY the following:

DBus HAL messages for the battery
SSH
Wifi
BlueTooth
GPS

I will try just disabling them one at a time to see what happens but it would be nice to know what each one does - Anyone?

By the way, I solved the problem with /media/mmc2 using the following command
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/mmc2 - I guess I could just add it to /etc/fstab?
