Guys,

I was reading this month's SysAdmin magazine, and came across this article
about Bootprofile for Linux. You can find more info at
http://www.rajeevnet.com/ The basic idea is that at boot time they copy
various files from predefined configurations into the default system
locations.

While I don't really like the idea of copying files around, it occurred to
me that we could do something similar by defining different rc.conf files
at boot time. This eliminates the chief problems I have with the
bootprofile approach, which are mounting / rw very early, and the copying
of files so early in the process.

Before I consider working on this idea, what do you guys think of it in
general? Useful? Waste of time?

Doug
