perhaps that is something that should be initially filled out at install,

One last thing, Mandrake should not make any GUI tools that don't have
console

personally, I think even a mostly brian-dead user could figure out how to
use mc and mcedit ..
especially since anyone who has used windows for any length of time would be
familiar with xtree and norton commander...
