nope, and that's why debian is so good. if you need those utilities,
get redhat or suse or progeny! those gui utils have inherent problems
on systems like linux where config files may be edited by hand too.
and of course, as micro$oft proves here and there, no gui utility can
capture all the configuration options of a text file.

yes. that's the idea. that's debian.
don't get upset, I was just asking.
Linuxconf wasn't a gui app, it worked in terminal, just like the debian
installer !
Anyhow I immediately received many answers about the apt stuff. Thanks!
I managed to instruct apt to use my cd rom as source and installed
linuxconf in the blimk of an eye. Nice!
I got lost in dselect, instead.
About hardware detection, I understand there's no aid, so I have to
manually set my peripherals - thanks kent
Bye
Adri
