I'd say that this is fairly mandatory - I remember many years ago when I |
8 |
first moved to Linux and had a run level editor... the only problem is I |
9 |
didn't know what a run level was :P |

I'm wondering how this is to be organised? Are we aiming for seperate |
28 |
applications to perform the tasks or one pluggable application that can |
29 |
do them all? (ala Linuxconf). I'd tend to lean towards the latter I |
30 |
think, as it would mean that different sections of the app. could be |
31 |
enabled/disabled depending on the user's experience/knowledge or UID :) |
