According to Andreas Klemm: > When running FreeBSD on a Laptop, I'd whish to have a profile > manager active, who asks me, what FreeBSD configuration I want > to boot. What I did when I had my SunOS laptop (a Tadpole S2 then S3) was a set of scripts and config. files in order to switch from one configuration to another *without* rebooting. I hate rebooting a laptop when it can hibernate :-) I intend to do that again (although I have the old setup somewhere) for my new laptop (a Sony VAIO Z505SX some people have seen in FreeBSDcon :-)). > What do you think of this ? No reboot should be necessary IMO. Using a set of appropriate rc.d/* files with a master one calling the others with "start" and "stop" should do the trick. Having "hostname" returning a short name (no domain) and a suitably edited /etc/hosts (generated for each config) that gives you the FQDN works fine. -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 4.0-CURRENT #74: Thu Sep 9 00:20:51 CEST 1999 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
