About the first part...
I am unsure of any Red Hat developed boot profiles. I believe I
saw something in Mandrake-Linux for that. However, I have heard of a few
products/Projects that were working towards such a thing. I would check
www.google.com/linux for something about that.
As for the second...
Disable Kudzu. You shouldn't need it running all the time,
unless you actually need it to locate a new piece of hardware that you
will be installing or adding to a computer or laptop.

Subject: "Correct" way to configure RedHat Linux to support different
hardware profiles for laptop docking station
When my laptop is in the docking station it has an External Monitor, a
USB optical mouse,
and an extra NIC that should be used.
When it is not in the docking station it has the onboard touchpad (PS/2)
mouse, an LCD display and
uses the onboard NIC?
In the past I have hacked together my own rc.sysinit script to check the
lspci for the prescense of the
docking station NIC and if it is found then it swaps XF86Config,
sysconfig/mouse and ifcfg-eth? files
around, and if the docking station NIC is not found then it swaps those
files the other way around.
Does RedHat have a "standard" way of configuring a system to recognize
at boottime whether
a laptop is docked or not and thereby change the X Display config, the
mouse, and the Network interfaces?
Or is it considered normal to just hack your sysinit script for that?
Also, is there a way to tell Kudzu to ignore certain hardware config
changes that occur all the time
with a laptop like this?
Thanks in advance,
-Ben.
