RH 7.2 has Linux conf with it but you have to install it and
one other gdk file.

I found Linux conf on the Disks that I got at the last
Indtall Fest and had to add another file to make it work but
it now does. But I had to end up doing the network
configuration manually since the Linuxconf seems to add a
bunch of garbage into several of the files on Redhat 7.2
when you use it. Ray helped me through the problem. 

I dont use KDE or any RedHat GUI on the machine I set up so
it makes problems. I use XFCE as the GUI which is very fast
and lean and is all we need to run the programs that we use
in the webcenter.

This was the first time I used RedHAt in years and it was
better than the 6.0 I tried before but they are going too
much GUI like M$ and I found it difficult to use command
line installing, but with Ray's help we got it up and
running.
