+
+<p>The profile offers a few medium-specific configuration options:
+</p>
+
+<h3><a name="bootlines"></a>Boot entries/options</h3>
+
+<p>The bootloader offers a selection of 'boot lines', so that
+different systems, or various kernels in combination with various
+boot options can be started. The file 'bootlines' in the profile
+contains this information for the <em>larch live</em> system in a
+form which can be converted automatically into bootloader specific
+formats. This allows the boot menu entries to be supplied in the
+profile in a way which is independent of the actual bootloader
+which is used in the end. The format should be pretty clear from
+the default version.
+</p>
+
+<p>The 'bootlines' file covers only the menu entries for the
+<em>larch live</em> system. All other entries must be supplied in
+a bootloader specific 'template' file. Buttons are supplied to edit
+these, too. Note the '###LARCH' line, which specifies where the
+information from the 'bootlines' file is to be included.
+</p>
+
+<h3>The 'cd-root' directory</h3>
+<p>The handling of this directory is described
+<a href="profiles.html#cd-root">here</a>. It is a bit complicated,
+because it tries to be flexible, but the default settings might be
+adequate for many purposes.
+There is a button to open a file browser on this directory
+(within the current profile).
+</p>
+
+<h3>Disable session saving</h3>
+
+<p>Checking this option will only cause the profile file 'nosave' to
+exist. Whether session saving is then available on the <em>live</em>
+medium depends firstly on whether the medium is writable (an 'iso'
+file is not writable) and secondly on whether this option is
+overridden at the actual build stage. This may make this option
+appear a bit useless, but bear in mind that it is supplied in the
+profile, and can thus act as a signal as to whether the profile
+was designed with session saving in mind.
