Which is why it is important, and why it is irrelevant how much it is used in a distro. Right now Linux is strongest at the server, where character mode interfaces rule, aside from web-based interfaces. It is more convenient for the customer if the developer can delvier ncurses-based installation and configuration interfaces for server software than to use the crappy shell scripts you see today. The only reason something like "make menuconfig" is useful now is because it gets compiled when you need it. We shouldn't expect that from a commercial package. -Nick -- ********************************************************** Nicholas Petreley Caldera Systems - LinuxWorld/InfoWorld [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.petreley.com - Eph 6:12 ********************************************************** .
