Brendon, Brent,
Nothing personal here but the jist of the post was what documentation and
implementation should Lamar use... We can all see that linuxconf does or
does not come with installs depending on the version and what type of
install that is done. With that said maybe we should either post more links
to help or maybe post a separate thread that would address this specific
issue.

Here are some more sites for you Lamar.

Subject: Re: linuxconf?
I have seen it happen both ways. That is: install of 7.0 contained
Linuxconf and some didnt. Havent really focused on what package or
install I ran in each situation. But...I bet it has to do with server or
workstation. For instance its probably part of the "administrator
workstation package".
