According to Dag-Erling Smorgrav:
> As a consultant, I currently need my laptop to handle four different
> configurations:
I have such a system which use symlinks for various files (/etc/rc.conf,
/etc/hosts and such) and a script run to change various parameters (like IP
address).
/etc/
hosts -> /etc/conf/current/hosts
printcap -> /etc/conf/current/printcap
rc.conf -> /etc/conf/current/rc.conf
...
/etc/conf/
bin/
ifconfig change parameters according to current/params
switch-to switch between configurations
current -> whichever config is current {eec,home,usenix}
eec/
hosts
printcap
params
rc.conf
...
home/
hosts
printcap
params
rc.conf
...
usenix/
hosts
printcap
params
rc.conf
...
Could be improved but it works well for me at the moment. Adding a new
configuration is very easy, 'cp -pr home newconfig' and hack newconfig/*.
If anyone's interested, just yell :)
