I'd forgotten how horrible Linuxconf was, I still haven't forgotten how
awful I found SuSE + Yast to use, though.
Of course it was rpm hell that eventually led me to Debian and smooth
upgrading from that first installation onwards. I think it would be
possible to move from the version 2.1 mentioned in that article
through to Lenny today with any need for a re-installation at any time.
