This article shows how to reduce boot time for Fedora 17, but the recipe can also be applied to 18, 19 and 20.
The target is to get a fast booting system with NetworkManager running and gdm displaying the login

Because I don't use any LVM, RAID or encrypted devices, I can safely turn off all nearly all
`fedora-\*storage\*` services. To turn off these services, we use the `systemctl mask` command.
A bonus with that mechanism is, that no rpm %post script turns them on automatically.

$ for i in fedora*storage* lvm2-monitor.* mdmonitor*.*; \
do sudo systemctl mask $i; \

So I turn /boot in a "mount on demand" mountpoint. Also having /tmp as a tmpfs is one way to reduce

Because NetworkManager is started also by the graphical login target,
I can remove it from the multi-user target and it will be started in parallel to the gdm login screen.

This will shave of a few milliseconds:

To see the difference readahead makes for the system, I turn it off temporarily and reboot
```console
$ cd /lib/systemd/system
