As explained in another message, linuxconf may use a front-end in both
text and graphic mode to override its own user interface. RedHat 5.1
delivers a a text mode front-end called gecko. This one splits the various
linuxconf menus in sub-menus. But it has several problems making it
unsuitable for serious linuxconf usage. So /bin/remadmin has been modified
so it does not look anymore for it. This avoids telling everyone that
rpm -e gecko
is needed. Note that this patch (the new /bin/remadmin script) is from
RedHat. gecko may born again ... a little later I guess.
