[expert] Cobalt like EASY to CONFIGURE Menu (Web or TEXT)
I think the ultimate feature is a very easy to use NETWORK APPLIANCE. Customize a couple of buttons that make the OS really easy to use with just a flick of the switch. I've tried some dedicated server hosting and these people do some pretty nifty configs to a plane RedHat and makes it easy to use!

[expert] SCSI Auto Detect or Help show configs.
I want Mandrake to autodetect SCSI better. If it cannot detect, it should show the available options on what to type for each device to help the user. What I do now is go to another machine, open the kernel scsi files and look for the options.

It's not a lock. You just forgot to turn on lpd. Use your setup tool and turn it on by default.

[expert] My complaints about MDK 7.0
This is constructive criticism for MDK7.0 I absolutely adore MDK6.1 (the best!) #1 Install TAKES TOO LONG! #2 Install is TOO BIG! #3 Install lost the customizability of old redhat. #4 cacheing DNS files not created by install: /var/named missing. #5 No text install? #6 Should Let user choose between Postfix and Sendmail.

[expert] Help! Need Best web page uploading technique!
I'm new to this webmastering thing. I can put webpages in my /home/httpd/html directory by going super user. But it's really a drag... upload to an uploads dir or user dir, then telnet, then manually copy to /home/httpd/html/newdir. Man, this sucks. There must be a better way than that. Help please?
