The "System Configuration" icon runs linuxconf. The linuxconf package
and several others have updates available.
These are even newer than RH5.1, and you should get them from
ftp.redhat.com or a mirror like ftp.lame.org, and install each one
using "rpm -Uvh xxxxx.rpm".
The rpm -Uvh command will upgrade the package, or install it from
scratch, depending on whether you already have an old version installed.
The update for linuxconf fixes several things.
You should read the info about these updates too, in www.redhat.com/errata,
as you will need to make a couple symlinks to get it all working nicely.
