If you are looking for a vast increase in the number of options, and thus the complexity, of basic things like filesystems, there will be an exponential increase in the codebase necessary for configuration tools. There are only limited resources available. As linuxconf demonstrated, you have to be REALLY good at writing configuration tools, or you end up with a big mess. For configuration that supports more things than the redhat-config-* tools, have you tried webmin? IMO, the webmin developers do a much better job at keeping up with things than linuxconf did. --Jeremy -- /---------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Jeremy Portzer jeremyp pobox com trilug.org/~jeremy | | GPG Fingerprint: 712D 77C7 AB2D 2130 989F E135 6F9F F7BC CC1A 7B92 | \---------------------------------------------------------------------/
