a list of the things you can save pops up, and you tick the box's of those things that you want to keep..
the basic stuff would be: security. postfix. apache. kde & gnome related apps. kmail mozilla etc etc.. just the usuauls... and any settings that are the defaults would not need to be saved.. Then we could all reinstall every 6 months and have the new install configured just as the old one was with no effort at all.. wonderful :-) now, how do we convince mandrake that its fantastic to have the latest version, but its a pain to have to reconfigure everything every 6 months to get it.. rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Roger Sherman Sent: Sunday, July 28, 2002 9:42 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Hows this for an idea for Mandrake.

I like it! Especially if you had some control over what it looked for, say like a gui panel where you could enter in the services that you use, etc. > > > > rgds > > Frank > > > >
