Hi Pablo, I think its a brilliant idea! We could start with something as basic as 'lilo.conf'.All newbies have to edit this one soon after installation. We could move on to 'fstab', 'inittab' and 'crontab' et al. This way configuration would become a matter of 'uncommenting' options after reading the appropriate directions....something like the 'httpd.conf' file now. ciao abhijeet
