All I do is have my system boot "unconfigured". I then write a shell script to do the configuration I need for that network. turtledawn~;more bin/gltg #!/bin/sh sudo /sbin/ifconfig ed1 inet 192.168.1.200 sudo /sbin/route add default 192.168.1.1 sudo cp /etc/resolv.conf.gltg /etc/resolv.conf sudo killall -1 sendmail sudo /usr/sbin/sshd /usr/X11R6/bin/startx --nolisten tcp It's ugly, but it works. I suspect that the reason nobody's answered is that nobody has a non-ugly solution.
