|
>There is an excellent tool called ``<TT
|
|
CLASS="LITERAL"
|
|
>linuxconf</TT
|
|
>''
|
|
which can make many configuration issues easier to do. Linuxconf runs on
|
|
whatever means of display environment it has available to it -- you can
|
|
run it from the console, over a telnet session, and as a GUI-based tool
|
|
under X and it will automatically start up in the appropriate
|
|
manner.</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>If you need to adjust your system time, modify your network
|
|
settings, set up file systems, perform user administration, as well as
|
|
perform many other administrative and configuration duties, you should
|
|
give this tool a try. The only caveat I would give is that, at the time of
|
|
this writing, the GUI-based tool is still a bit <SPAN
|
|
CLASS="QUOTE"
|
|
>"buggy"</SPAN
|
|
> and
|
|
at times may stop responding to mouse clicks. However, this tool is a
|
|
promising work in progress, and future revisions should become quite
|
|
usable.</P
