is there another list

[Janina Sajka]

I no longer use linuxconf, though it is still tempting when there's 
something I don't quite know how to do myself. Problem for me was not the 
interface. I got used to the quirks of linuxconf's text interface readily 
enough. Problem was that it seems one cannot mix doing configuration by 
hand and doing it by linuxconf. Eventually, linuxconf just breaks if you 
do that. As is so commonly the case with these kinds of tools, one can 
only do what the tool supports. If you're willing to live with that, and I 
am not, you should be OK with linuxconf.

PS: You can even run linuxconf from lynx. You need to open linuxconf and 
specify that this kind of access is allowed--somewhere under misc, if 
memory serves. Thereafter, it's localhost:900.
