I understood from what James wrote on his system it does not work at all.
In previous versions one could manually add the parameters (i.e., PROFILE=profile_name) into
and > GRUB's menu.list, thus building a nice boot menu for different
environments. Those parameters are ignored in 10.2, which means training users that there will be a different way to boot the laptop (and more calls to the help desk, frustration for end-users: not a pretty situation).
I unpacked /boot/message of my laptop: cpio -i </boot/message and one of the files I've got is "profiles". In my case it contains home PROFILE=home *office PROFILE=office Also SCPM man page mentions parameter PROFILE=profile_to_boot_into on LILO/GRUB command line. I typed PROFILE=home in "options" line and yes, system booted with "home" profile. -- Mark Goldstein -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
