It is very possible and also very easy to select a profile that would be loaded at
start, just save it under the lock name

# setup -s lock

If you want to start some things, you can setup local.

Michele,
it remembers me that I found a bug in local.fun : if there was a file
/setup/cnf/store/rc.local, even if the user changed something in the prepare
section (editing /etc/rc.local) , the stored file was copied in /etc, overriding
the changes. Here I joined a (still untested, but should work, that time)
local.fun, but I am not really satisfied with the think I did to overcome the
problem, that is defining a variable to be at yes if the /etc/rc.local was edited
during the prepare section, because it pollutes badly the unique setup namespace.

An other way to avoid that, would be to test wether a /etc/rc.local exists or not,
and if it exists, not copy the /setup/cnf/store/rc.local file, but I think it is
bad for hd based muLinux.

Pat
