A faster and snappier GlueSTiK! ;-))

I've just achieved a MUCH faster operation, using GlueSTiK 0.02b4
since starting it from rc.net instead of mint.cnf; unfortunatly,
the newer 0.03 betas cannot be used that way, since they feature
an XDD executable.

I shuffled the order of ALL my rc files, which noticably improves 
overall MiNT performance speed and reduces bus errors occurances.

MiNTOS now loads them in the following order:

rc.boot
rc -> rc.local
   -> standard services
   -> rc.net
   
I've appended my rc files below, for those who are curious about
what I did where (although I'm certain others have found better
ways to accomplish this --I'm only a newbie, ain't I?-- ;-).
