According to what I've read in the on line docs, I should be able to set a variable, such as PROFILE in Grub, by adding a line to menu.lst. I've added the line:
append = "PROFILE=Home"
But it doesn't appear to create the environment variable PROFILE.
Do you mean scpm profile? It is not environment variable. As far as I know PROFILE is reserved for scpm.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong? As far as I can tell, I've followed the instructions exactly.
What instructions? What is that your trying to achieve?

I'm trying to set up different profiles on my notebook, for use on my home network and elsewhere. Here's a quote from the on line help. in the section on scpm: Profile Selection during Boot It is possible to select a profile during the boot process by providing the boot parameter PROFILE=<name-of-the-profile> at the boot prompt. In the boot loader configuration (/boot/grub/menu.lst), the option title reflects the name of the profile. For example: File: The File /boot/grub/menu.lst . . . append = "vga=0x317 hde=ide-scsi PROFILE=home"
