Go to the plf site http://plf.zarb.org/ and use easy-urpmi to set up a "contrib" source (and a plf one while you're there:)). That's where you'll find the linuxconf rpms and lots more to boot:) Good luck, HarM -- Registered Linux User #197998 FSF Associate Member #901 ICQ #146191606 Mandrake HowTo's & more: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
