Why whould I need Boot Profiles ?

 

 

Short answer:

You probably donīt ...

... if you only need to boot one particular computer or several very similar machines with your Recovery CD.

 

However, you will need the flexibility of boot profiles to adapt your CD on-the-fly to boot a variety of totally different computers.

... Including some of those old low resource boxes.

 

But, if you are happy with ONE preset boot scenario

... you may just set ReatogoLogon to "SilentBoot" and it will silently boot you directly up to your default shell.
