Greeeeeeaaaaaaatt! Now we have really implemented the linux world in
this mailing list:

The old discussion where to place the the config. There is no solution
anyway: unix is here a little byte ugly (not to talk about windows).

There are to ways: use yast (rc.config) of suzy, or linuxconf of rothut;
both guarantee to fail in some circumstances ... it depeeennnds ...

As long as you only install (distribution specific) rpm's - all things
should be fine. But that’s not enough some times later. It is the best
way to become familiar with inner workings of the generic mechanisms at
first and than extrapolate the [helpful] toolfunctions of yast or
linuxconf.

Btw: if you do "./configure ; make ; make install" not all
gnu-like-progs are thinking about rc.config anyhow. A productive system
is handmade.

"windows needs 70 floppy disks, linux needs brain."
