/bin/netprofile waits only for 5 seconds (at line 251) for the user to choose which net profile he wants. That's few, maybe good for reactive users (to which I do not belong !). It would be nice if that timeout could be set in MCC net profiles settings dialog.
As a workaround you can add some boot options on grub command line using NETPROFILE= on the commande line so you'll be able to choose your profile directly on grub.

Thanks for the tip, John. I could also edit /sbin/netprofile to raise the timeout. But my remark was mainly to find a solution most suitable to beginners and, to me, what makes Mageia (like Mandriva) very user-friendly is its simple Control Centre (unlike opensuse YAST) and the ability to configure through it almost everything one may want to configure. It's true one may configure several grub entries through MCC for each profile, but it's a more complicated solution.

I don't have a /bin/netprofile, but in /sbin/netprofile it is line 248 for me, and still 5 seconds.

Sorry, but this bug saw no action since more than 2 yrs ago. No cauldron package has stayed the same since then. Closing as OLD Please reopen if this report is still valid for _current_ cauldron and/or fully updated Mageia 4
