Subject: Netprofile: abstract and overview

I have posted an abstract and some basic requirements at

   http://netprofile.fsck.ch/

Can you please read through this and post some comments?

Also, the best name I could come up with was netprofile, which
seems to be used by a similar product from another company.
Someone got a better idea or should we just stick with bootconfig,
bootprofile, or whatever?

My next steps will be to set up a test system (5.1Beta2 or current,
so far my laptop still runs 4.8) and to have a look at everything
we got so far (location.sh, Mike and Dougs hacks, setnetparm,
sysutils/personality, quickswitch for linux  and possibly others).
Also, someone told me to have a look at the gentoo init stuff, lets
see how they solved this (if at all).


greets, t.
