There were quite a few, and I'm sure that was a major force for dropping it altogether. It was still on the CD on 7.1, maybe 7.2, but it wasn't installed on any install except an "everything" install. It was mentioned that it was going away. Now it has. But, just like many other things that used to be included and no longer are (xv among them), one can still locate and install them. Linuxconf is still actively maintained for Redhat. It just doesn't get included. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Saul Arias > Sent: Friday, August 16, 2002 4:07 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: LinuxConf - seems to have dissapeared with 7.3 > > > At 06:41 PM 16-08-02, Anthony Abby wrote: > >This is the kind of answer that is really of no help to a new > person > >trying to learn Linux.
