38 I read a while back that changing from certain profiles to certain
39 other profiles is impossible without a complete reinstall. I'd like
40 to change to hardened/amd64/multilib but also have the option to
41 switch to default/linux/amd64/2008.0/desktop if I have problems with a
42 hardened profile like I do on my laptop. Can I do all that?
