Mutt: Start->Networking->Mail->Mutt
Links:Start->Networking->WWW->links
drakxconf?????

How about:
Start->Configuration->Mandrake Tools (low resolution)

Of course, if you could use it without a mouse (so one could configure a

How difficult would it be to make drakxconf take keyboard input
(probably easier than drakconf).
