Maybe, with 5.2.. From the RH6.0 manual, "Installation-Related
Enhancements."
"Xconfigurator is now run at the very end of the install, after all
filesystem components have been installed. In the past, if Xconfigurator
were to hang, you would likely have to start the installation over. Now it
is possible to boot Red Hat Linux and configure X after the installation has
completed"
When I tried the Xconfigurator probe, my monitor crashed, but I went
back and skipped the probe, and had no trouble with the manual selection of
my video card, monitor, etc..
Now, I'm not a Serious User. I'm just practising commands and snooping
around in the files, but I have discovered that the Linuxes did not just
spring full-blown from the forehead of Zeus. I was reading the inetd.conf
file, trying to solve a mail problem, when I found a line at the end
stating that this file had been adapted from a file in, guess what? FreeBSD,
by way of Debian.
