I too would also be interested as to why LinuxConf is a security risk. I
don't actually intend to make a direct connection out, I'm relying on Win98
SE to make my internet connection, but if LinuxConf has other risks, I'd
like to know about them.

Where could I read up about that? I already ran it, but will leave it out
next install if it's that bad. Darn - seemed quite useful too! <sigh>
