Hi Rob
I think you are looking for the visual config screen. The only way I =
know
to get to it is to re-boot. When you see the 10 second countdown, press
space (not enter) and then type boot -c. Then type visual and you're =
there.
(You don't need to boot off CD or floppy)
AFAIK any changes you make will only remain until you re-boot again.
You'll have to make a custom kernel to make permanent changes.
(Not as hard as it sounds)
HTH
John.
