Isn't it a requirement for modern distros to have cool graphical installation and configuration programs written in python (there's a reason debian depends on python1.4) also anaconda which runs the RedHat and Mandrake installs. But hey it's your distro, if you don't want clean object oriented scripting languages that include modules specially for reading and rewriting config files that's your decision ;-) ciao larry
