LILO is a boot loader. That would be during boot.

runlevel is merely a means of setting something up - except, it's fairly
standard at this point, so for me, probably easier to maintain.

Er, exactly my point - if I want different behaviro based on that I'm
"docked" for presentation, it may have nothing to do with card services;
the ps/2 and video ports are not going to -tell- anything that they have

exist, yet.
