You haven't lost linuxconf at all. You can access it via the web admin, if you installed it, or just by typing linuxconf at a prompt. It's been changed and it's all "pretty now." But I think they're trying to replace it with DrakConf. They changed DrakConf to be all pretty too, but I think linuxconf is more robust honestly. But honestly, once you have the basic configs in and running the system is running you're good to go. I don't see any advantage it has over Mandrake 7.2 at this point. 7.1 to 7.2 ran smoother for me. 8.0 runs just like 7.2 does, smooth and stable. The only thing different about the machine I used it to install would be the OS of course, and I added another 30GB to the machine! :0) tdh T.

It's just too soon!! | | If I've been cutting too many corners, please tell me so (and | where) and I'll look a little further, cause rest asured: I | haven't deleted it and don't intend to. :o) | -- | Semper avanti, sailing on Linux, | Harm Bathoorn Free evermore. | Hoek.
