GS/OS first looks for a file named START in the SYSTEM directory.  If it can't
find that, it will run the first P16 file called <something>.SYS16 that it
finds in your root directory.

You can also ditch the control panel and the CDEVs after you set your
preferred RAM Cache size.  You can set just about everything else through the
regular control panel.  unless you need to access Appletalk or use the
chooser....  But then you can still get rid of most of the CDEVs.  You can
also get rid of the ICONS directory.
