It's the normal (root) shell prompt. You can use the rc command to switch |
| 8 |
runlevels after booting. To use your example, you're using your laptop |
| 9 |
on the train, with the out runlevel because there's no network. Then you |
| 10 |
arrive at home or the office and want to switch to the relevant profile |
| 11 |
and start the services, so you run "rc home". |

There doesn't appear to be anything on the wiki, which is a shame, |
| 18 |
because this looks a useful feature. |
