I was looking over the code for StartupLoader and friends and it seems to take all the scripts it finds from the two preferences folders and the image folder.
Here's my use case: at ESUG, I won't have my laptop because I'll be coming from backpacking, so I'll be running images probably off a USB drive on other people's laptops. Thus, I want a feature that overrides the normal preference file locations, so I won't pick up their customizations, and only loads mine. I've also thought about this for things like debugging, where I really want a fresh image, without my customizations from the startup scripts. From my reading of the code, this can not currently be done? Is that correct? And does that sound like a reasonable feature?
Sounds like, adding option 'no-prefs' to prevent image from loading preferences, is the way to go. (if i understood correctly the problem).
