I've just started using "scpm" on my laptop -- I understand the basic concepts, but the documentation seems to head out to vague-ville when it comes to setting it up "for use with a boot manager" I have two primary configurations: "Home" and "away". At "Home", the network address is static, "lisa" should run, the xntp client should sync to my central sever, etc. For "away" all of these are different: uses dhcp, doesn't start lisa, and time syncing is to a more-or-less public server. As I said, I pretty much have these two "configuration profiles" working the way I want them, now I want to go on to the next step and set up a grub menu item for "Linux at Home" and "Linux on-the-road" A quick perusal of /etc/init.d/boot.scpm seems to refer to a configuration variable called $PROFILE, but my synapses aren't making the connection of how I would set this variable based on which grub menu item was chosen -- where is the missing mind-link to where these sorts of things are discussed? -- Yet another Blog: http://osnut.homelinux.net
