Re: Linux Mandrake 7.2 Accessibliity

[Ron Marriage <marriage@seidata.com>]

Hi 

I run Mandrake 7.1 and like it very much.  Mine is somewhat
a different situation as my wife and son want X and I work
in console.  Mandrake does a super job at this.
As to your questions, no the harddrake utility is not
accessable from console, but then most of what it does use
are easily ran as seperate aps.
Linuxconf is and most of the other options can be run from
console without problem.
Kudzu automatically searches for new hardware at system
startup and had done a super job.
The difference between 7.1 and 7.2 is basically a new
kernal and many enhancements under X.  You should expect to
be able to run and maintain your machine without problems.
Most of the sleak X utilities, I've found, are just pretty
interfaces for the console utilities. <grin>
