RH re-wrote many (all?) of their proprietary config tools.  The rpm
packages have names of the form redhat-config-*.  Try this at the shell
prompt:

        rpm -qa | grep ^redhat-config-

There will probably be qutie a few, unless somehow you didn't install
them.

Thanks, I'll look at that.

What you once knew as Xconfigurator is now redhat-config-xfree86.

as far as I could tell, Xconfigurator != redhat-config-xfree86. I did a full install of RH9 on a machine with a pretty crappy graphics card. When I rebooted, the video was all screwed up. I tried running the r*-c*-x*86, from the cmd line, but it started up in the same graphics mode that wasn't working. I mean, I fixed the problem by editing the config file, but I'd rather not do that. I'm lazy.

I honestly don't know what your system(s) could be lacking.  I
personally prefer my own distro, LFS style (www.linuxfromscratch.org),
because commercial distros can become a headache with one upgrade.  LFS
is a great learning experience, too, if sufficient time is available.

I run lfs on a different machine. It's cool. But some software and hardware we use isn't supported for anything but RH.

Thanks,
