One other thing to think about. If you usually know if you want network
access when you boot, and you do not often change your network status
after booting, set up two net profiles. One with network enabled, and
one with it disabled. then set up two entries in lilo, one for each net
profile. You can then select witch one to boot into. (You add
PROFILE=<profile name> in the append section for each boot entry.) The
nice thing about Netprofiles is that you can define what services start,
what interfaces are defined, separate host and resolv.conf files for
each one, etc. You can change profiles without rebooting, and it will
start/stop services as necessary to match the new profile. (It is a lot
like changing run levels, but it does even more!)
Woah, this is awesome. Can you send more details on how to accomplish all
of this? I would love to be able to change how my system starts up
dependant on what kind of network I will be access (and also if I will be
running off of battery or external power)
Thanks,
Job
That would make a great hoe to :-D
