Ok I give up. Everything I read to access these tools says to open a terminal window ( as root helps), and type redhat-config-whatever you want (that's available). All I get is a bash config command not found. What am I missing. Did I miss something on my install. I'm running FC3 with Gnome. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
... and to find that out you could have use slocate.
first update the database: (as root) updatedb
then look for what you need using parts of the pattern:
slocate config-<something>
if that gives you too many answer either pipe to more (slocate config-<something> | more)
or use grep to narrow down the search (slocate config-<something> | grep <something else>
Thanks,,I knew it consisted of 2 parts. 1) It was an easy answer 2) As is with the typical Linux issues I've run into, the documentation leaves a lot to be desired for a newbie. Much appreciated to those supplying the positive input! Enough said.
