Its the challange that I love, even if I do not succeed. Thats was whole point in drawing me into Linux, now they are making it too difficult for the non tech software guy. I wnat to get gconfig to work to see if it is simpler than the other commands to handle, especially as compiling a kernel is now much more difficult if the documentation is lacking/poor. I was able to handle the very early 0.xx series kernels on command line, but they were time consuming, mainly due to low speed buses. Somewhere about the begining of the 2 series or slightly earlier, they got X/gui and xconfig, which made it all simpler. Also with the advent of faster proceeeors/buses it was a dream. Now they are giving us a massive information overload: I wonder sometimes if progress is worth the it, course I am locked into memories etc now and my learning curve is too steep. -- Keith Antoine (GANDALF) aka 'SKIPPY' 18 Arkana St, The Gap, Queensland 4061, Australia:: PH:61733002161 Practising Geriatric, Retired Electronics Engineer, Knowall, Brain in storage _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
