Hello, I forgot to cc to the list, sorry.

I grab the answer or the choice via the kenv system call, and on my rc dire= ctory I start my own script just before netif to configure my network depen= ding on the answer I choose at boot time. So I think the idea can be modify= for every used that you can dream of. I am able to send you my configuration, the boot menu and the rc file.

The active profile the system uses could be chosen based o= n some contingency condition.=A0 For example, simply prompting the user to = choose an rc profile at boot, or using hardware to choose the profile (e.g.= like location based contingency using GPS hardware), or whatever...=A0 I g= uess this only pertains to booting though, but rc seems like a natural plac= e to do this.=A0 Thoughts, comments?=A0 Yet another idea I have no time to = try...
