Hello, Please pardon me if this list is not the proper venue for this question; I could not figure out a more appopriate place to ask it. In the past, on SysV-Init based Linux distros I managed to set up my notebook to boot into different networking and other environments by setting up multiple entries in Grub for the various locations, with LOCATION=xxxx appended to the kernel parameter line. This would get passed to init as an environment variable, so that in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit I could call an appropriate script to set up networking and other aspects of the required environment for that location. It seems to me that the Upstart "init" does not pass such environment variables to the scripts it calls, and thus this method of setting up a location-dependent boot environment no longer works. Is this observation correct? Thanks for any information you can provide. Wolf Paul -- Wolf N.
