Is there anyone > here who uses more than 3 levels of customization? Almost. On my laptop, I've got gdm in runlevel 2, no gdm but extra getty's in runlevel 3, and no gdm, extra getty's and no power management (to get full performance even if on the road) in runlevel 4. I'm thinking of configuring a "no power, with X" runlevel, and a "minimal" runlevel which would run with "almost nothing", just the basics required to do something useful.
