I believe we need a real good interface which does not depend on terminal sessions anymore. Most embedded systems have a terminal session, which at least can somehow be enabled but you can achieve most, if not all, of the configuration on a more recent user interface. > > IMHO providing a good and up-to-date documentation with how-to's one can > follow step-by-step etc will help users more than anything else to get his > tasks done. > > You see preferences, how to make LEAF user friendly, vary and seems to be > bound to personal habits, how one tries to solve a task/problem. > > None of us is wrong or right though. It is not a question of being wrong or right. Computer interfaces have changed since the sixties, but they are still von Neumann machines. As I said, I hardly ever use lrcfg. I just went on an exploratory trip and some of the roadsigns just did not match. I don't want to work on lrcfg because I think it is a thing of the past. I might work on some of the webconf interfaces if I find time in the next few months, but of course, things I consider necessary are on top of the list, others will go unnoticed. I still believe though that a good package should provide a good user interface and just calling an editor is IMHO plain lame. cheers ET ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Transform Data into Opportunity.
