interactive startup..
i have used the interactive startup in the past on my system to skip wireless mode when I am somewhere out of range of the internet and and have only the 2hrs battery lifetime and no place to connect my laptop to the mains.. i usually skip isdn and networking. what I would like to know is how would put to use the inetractive startup to more efficiently run my system as in the example above.. . more precisely if i were to use the interactive startup more often and for other functions how would I most benefit from using this..
cpuspeed for example... if I am on battery and not using wireless would skipping cpuspeed maximize battey life?
any feedback welcome

WIRELESS(7) Linux Programmer's Manual WIRELESS(7)
NAME
wireless - Wireless Tools and Wireless Extensions
SYNOPSIS
iwconfig
iwpriv -a
DESCRIPTION
The Wireless Extensions is an API allowing you manipulate Wireless LAN networking interfaces. It is composed of a variety of tools and
configuration files. It is documented in more detail in the Linux Wireless LAN Howto.
The Wireless Tools are used to change the configuration of wireless LAN networking interfaces on the fly, to get their current configura-
tion, to get statistics and diagnose them. They are described in their own man page, see below for references.
Wireless configuration is specific to each Linux distribution. This man page will contain in the future the configuration procedure for a
few common distributions. For the time being, check the file DISTRIBUTIONS.txt included with the Wireless Tools package.
DEBIAN 3.0
In Debian 3.0 (and later) you can configure wireless LAN networking devices using the network configuration tool ifupdown(8).

SuSE 8.0
SuSE 8.0 (and later) has integrated wireless configuration in their network scripts.
