netenv presupposes that you should reboot, which sucks. My laptop lives
hibernated - I never reboot it unless I'm changing kernels. So if you're
rebooting cool. According to its doco it also INSISTS you enter something;
no defaults.

Just because I've stepped onto the net doesn't mean I'm ready to run my
daemons yet. I think I'd use a seperate runlevel for that stuff. And I could
plug in a mouse and monitor without getting cardslots involved, so is using
pcmcia to trigger it really wise?
