Re: [newbie] I thought I was super user??

2001-01-04 Thread David Thompson

That's the answer.  I don't even have a subdirectory "/sbin/".  I
installed Mandrake 7.0 (Air) from CD and selected all options when prompted
for which files to load.  Guess I'll just do without for now... :-(

Check your path. I've got linuxconf in /sbin/linuxconf.
If this is not the case, then maybe you do not have it installed.

  If you typed Linuxconf (as you wrote) you would get:
  bash: Linuxconf : command not found
 
  try typing linuxconf
