Not newt..
Not a port of RH netconfig...(based on my initial attempts at RH 6.2 early
1999)
If you have seen(any post 3.x) Slackware Setup/installation.. then that's
what netconfig looks like... It's been like that since Slack 3.6.. mebbe
earlier too (Not wanting a RH vs Slackware OT discussion now...;) ).
And it's not a binary... its a /bin/bash script that uses /bin/dialog...
