You can, provided your kernel has built-in support for all of your
hardware.
As for hotplug, you should keep it installed to take care of your USB
devices, by disabling everything else in /etc/default/hotplug.
That's what I'm doing here, and my PB G4 500 boots faster than a fresh
Sarge install on a 1.4 GHz Athlon.
Do not forget to remove discover* if you haven't done so already; it's
even slower than hotplug, which is kind of a performance.
