Friendly helpers
Some administration tasks require several steps. One must visit vari-
ous dialog in Linuxconf to achieve the desired goal. The gurus are
guiding you through a potentially complex scenario. Several modules
may be participating underneath.
11.. PPrreesseennttaattiioonn
A helper is a sequence of simple dialog. Each dialog generally present
very few field, often, a single one. A lengthy explanation introduce
the fields. Once you have answered the question, you hit the _N_e_x_t
button to go further, or the _B_a_c_k button to step to a previous dialog.
22.. TThhee mmaapp
At the top of the window, there is a map (graphic mode only). It
looks like a train station map. Each station correspond to a dialog.
The yellow station represent your current location in the map.
+o A white circle (blue outside, white inside) represent an empty
dialog. Gurus may be used to configure something from scratch or
review a configuration. The white circle tells you immediately what
may be missing.
+o A broken red circle represent a dialog with some invalid input.
The input may have been valid at some point but may become invalid
later while you change some other dialog along the path.
+o A blue filled circle represents a filled dialog with valid input.
+o A read line represents a meaningless path. The helper won't visit
the dialog along the path because they are not needed.
+o A blue line represent a reachable dialog.
At this point, the map is not click-able with the mouse, but this is
coming.
