Yeah, scpm is a good tool to achieve that, but even if you configure
the various profiles through YaST, it _doesn't_ make any changes to
menu.lst of your grub!
At least on my 9.1 it really didn't do it, had to make them manually.
scpm of SUSE 10.0 I checked just quickly: liked kscpm, which I don't
have on 9.1, but no more comments on it.
By the way.
Interestingly on this oldie 9.1 all of the features of scpm are very-
well usable, except the grub controlled switching to profiles, 
which I could never get work via PROFILE=xxx kernel parameters.
(Because always the last active scheme is called, independently, which
menu-point you choice during boot.) Strange enough, maybe I should
simply open another thread. I'm just afraid, that 9.1 is not so
interesting for the masses anymore...
