Well, I was talking about something that would be accesible in a console or in X (with gtk and/or qt) or even in Web... Just like debconf. But with a huge difference. Instead of just asking questions, show a real "configure" screen, where (using the example I used before) I can list the configured network interfaces, ifdown some, ifup others, add new, remove. This can't be done just asking questions (at least not in an easy way). If something may be reutilized it would be the User Interface infra-estructure (and only the user interface) of linuxconf. But maybe it's better to just create one (I'm actually near of creating an toolkit that independs of environment, that could run in X, Web or curses, but it wouldn't be language independent it would be perl). daniel Em Qua, 2004-02-04 às 03:45, David Nusinow escreveu: > On Tue, Feb 03, 2004 at 10:25:34PM -0800, Mike Fedyk wrote: > > Why re-invent the wheel?
