From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312 Description of problem: /usr/share/redhat-config-network//help/network-profiles.html incorrectly states: -------------------- A profile cannot be activated at boot time. Only the devices set to activate at boot time in the Common profile (the default profile) are activated at boot time. After the system as booted, go to Main Menu (on the Panel) => System Tools => Network Device Control (or type the command redhat-control-network) to select a profile and activate it. The activate profile section only appears in the Network Device Control interface if more than the default Common interface exists. --------------------- This is not correct. I'd suggest replacing with: A profile can be activated at boot time if the profile name is passed using netprofile=<PROFILE_NAME> on the boot line. /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit will read the profile name, and activate it. In addition, you can pass a "runlevel" to init as shown on the following grub command line: kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-20.9 ro root=LABEL=/ apic netprofile=Home 4 Passing a runlevel allows you to customize what system services are run with a given profile. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): redhat-config-network-tui-1.2.15-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: The documentation does not match the functionality of /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit Additional info:
