Can you use command line editors to modify configurations and
still use the slicing, dicing front end? the ability to use ae in
rescue mode has come in handy at times.

What do I think? I think there is very little substance in
this critique. I think that the last time I installed mandrake, it
installed a web server and an ftp server without asking me any config
questions, and I had no id4ea what the security of the system was --
and that was the scriest isntall I have ever done. (How _does_ one
harden a mandrake system?)
I do think we4 need to look at the laterst install methods of
the distributions out there, and see if we can pick their brains. And
all the people who cavil should probably be helping with the
micro-debs ;-)
