Now I learned that after the upgrade, I have to examine
all the /etc/*.rpmsave files and make fixes, as the upgrade
does not do everything perfectly.
sendmail.cf and named.conf need my tweeks put back.
I still say it's worth it.
The new redhat5.2 version of linuxconf is three times better now.
It's all in one window and you can run any task with one click.
It still cannot do everything, but it seems
to do the common and intermediate tasks well - certainly a great help
for all but the wizened Unix guru. Thanks to all who are
working on linuxconf!
