You can do this by setting RC_USE_CONFIG_PROFILE="yes" in /etc/conf.d/rc The comment in the same file explains it # RC_USE_CONFIG_PROFILE allows you to have different /etc/conf.d files # based on your runlevel - if a conf.d file for your profile does not exist # then we try and use the default one. # To enable runlevel selection at boot, append "softlevel=foobar" to your # kernel line to change to the foobar runlevel. Here we would search for # /etc/conf.d/<service>.foobar config files before trying to use the default # /etc/conf.d/<service>. # Note that it is only active if 'softlevel' was specified via the kernel line, # and it is intended to use for different grub/lilo entries to specify config # changes for say laptops between home and work, where you would have setup # 'work' and 'home' runlevels, with /etc/conf.d/*.<runlevel> as needed. If you need the same services to start in each config, but with different configurations, you can make the various runlevel directories symlinks to /etc/runlevels/default. -- Neil Bothwick Voting Democrat or Republican is like choosing a cabin in the Titanic.
