Thanks for the pointers - Kiosk-HOWTO also provided some usefull info. I now have linux booting straight in to my X-app and shutting down on quitting. Just need to decide on which services are essential, and which ones are wasting space. Network services will be needed, whilst gpm can be dumped along with random and cron.
Regards, Paul.

The login is in two parts. The login: prompt is caused by getty, which is launched by init on the correct tty. The password: prompt is from /bin/login. I think roothat uses mingetty. inittab will tell you.
Or better still, where can I find documents on the boot sequence ?
inittab(5), init(8) man pages should be of use.
