how to stop inetd,nfs,etc. daemons?

["john smith" <inquirer23@hotmail.com>]

hello,

 how do I stop these daemons without manually deleting them from 
/etc/init.d? how the heck do I use update-rc.d -f remove -stop something?  
anyway... I mainly use linux for web surfing,email so what are the other 
daemons that I do not need and thus can be removed aside from 
nfs,inetd,lpd?? portmap,ksyslog perhaps?

any insights would be appreciated.

thanks.
