The following sections introduce SCPM configuration by means of a real life example: a mobile computer that is run in several different networks. The major challenges faced in this scenario are:
Varying network environments, like wireless LAN at home and an ethernet at work
Different printer configuration at home and at work
To get SCPM up and running and have it manage your changing system configuration, proceed as follows:
Add the Profile Chooser applet to your panel and configure it to allow user switching as described in Section 27.3.1, “Configuring the Profile Chooser Panel Applet”.
Configure SCPM using the YaST Profile Manager module as described in Section 27.3.2, “Configuring Basic SCPM Settings”.
Create a profile for each of the different setups using SUMF (SCPM Unified Management Front-End) as described in Section 27.3.3, “Creating a New Profile”.
Switch to the profile appropriate for your current situation as described in Section 27.3.4, “Switching Profiles”.
If you prefer to control SCPM with its command line interface, refer to Section 27.4, “Configuring SCPM Using the Command Line” for details.
