Is it possible to set up more run levels than the seven provided by SuSE?
What for? Some *nix systems manage to use no run levels at all.
As far as I can tell, I can add more by setting up more directories in /etc/init.d, although I probably wouldn't be able to set them up in yast. Am I right?
I'm not sure if YaST is capable of managing additional run levels.
Will grub allow me to switch to a specific run level from the boot menu?
GRUB knows nothing about run level. It is /etc/inittab which specifies default run level, and it is init which is responsible for switching run levels.
Failing that, is /etc/boot.local a good place to set up a script for calling one of these additional run levels?
I don't know what kind of functionality you are going to implement with additional run levels. Maybe SUSE profile manager is a more appropriate tool. Look at man page for init for more information about run levels. Regards, -Kastus
