Hi James,
I di remember that the old RedHat Systems had something like that built in -
through linuxconf.
You have however to archive a configuration for the "Switch Profile"to show
up. You can then activate the restored configuration if you want to.
I do remember that back in tinme - with my 486DX2-55MHz Subnotebook running on
20MBytes Ram - this was quite neat :) - I had built linuxconf into the
rc.sysinit file to have it started right away for me to have the option to
choose. I can't look at it any longer - as the Harddisk failed (cute
500MBytes HD :)) ....
Mandrake has Linuxconf installed too - and as I just checked - these
profile-switching do still work. Just don't forget to give the Profile a name
you'll recognise and save it when it's doing what you want it to do.
*g* Glad I could be of any use to you for a change :)
Cheers
Joerg
