It's the normal (root) shell prompt. You can use the rc command to switch runlevels after booting. To use your example, you're using your laptop on the train, with the out runlevel because there's no network. Then you arrive at home or the office and want to switch to the relevant profile and start the services, so you run "rc home". =20 > I don't know how you define rc.conf files for softlevels, since I don't > need softlevels, but I have seen discussions of this on the list in the > past. There's probably a Wiki entry on the subject as well. There doesn't appear to be anything on the wiki, which is a shame, because this looks a useful feature. --=20 Neil Bothwick If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate. * Wright --Signature_Wed__31_Aug_2005_16_44_25_+0100_DApVaEDIhzYTRfGo Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDFdBZum4al0N1GQMRAnsjAJ4sELFjwkSJFmjBJutrS5IP65EUHQCguInE Mh5P8f1XYqKBYYiw5aPpwrw= =2Y1X -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Signature_Wed__31_Aug_2005_16_44_25_+0100_DApVaEDIhzYTRfGo-- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
