  Linuxconf's features
  Introduction


  Linuxconf itself has some features which control its behavior.  While
  those features are generally included in task related dialogs, some
  fit nowhere and end here.

  1.  Keyboard map

  You can pick the proper keyboard map for your country. A help list
  shows all the available ones on your system. You can also enter the
  path of a custom map.


  2.  Language

  Linuxconf is translated into a  few language beside English.  The
  language field lists the available languages.


  3.  HTML timeout


  When Linuxconf receive an HTTP request, it will start to process the
  request and will stay running for some time. After a period of
  inactivity equal to the timeout, Linuxconf will exit.  While this has
  little impact on its functionality because the HTTP protocol is
  logically stateless (each transaction is conceptually complete), there
  exist some complex HTML dialogs which require Linuxconf to remember
  information about pages it has generated. If you are too slow to fill
  a screen and accept it, Linuxconf may very well quit in the mean time.
  This has two drawbacks:


  o  Increase disk activity (not much) to start, stop and restart
     Linuxconf.

  o  Some complex dialogs may not work because Linuxconf loses important
     state information when it exits. This situation arises in some
     complex sequences of input screen which are not yet part of the
     standard distribution of Linuxconf (experimental features).

  Using this feature you can raise the timeout so Linuxconf will wait
  longer before exiting. The timeout is expressed in minutes.


  4.  Using the GUI mode

  Linuxconf automatically determines and starts the appropriate user
  interface mode.  On some under-power workstations, it is sometimes
  nicer to use the text mode which provides better performance. Using
  this check-box, you can disable the use of the GUI mode under X11.


  5.  May use colors in text mode

  Some people are using monochrome monitor with VGA adaptor. There is no
  way Linuxconf can detect this. The results are unreadable. This
  checkbox forces Linuxconf into a black and white mode.


  6.  Trigger for filter

  When displaying long list, Linuxconf pops up a filter dialog. It
  allows you to enter a search prefix and only matching items of the
  list will be shown. by default, Linuxconf switch to this behavior when
  the list reaches more than 60 entries.  You can control the cutoff
  value here. A value of 0 disable this behavior: This means that you
  will be presented the whole list every time.


  7.  HTML body parm

  You can control the parameter of the BODY html statement. The
  parameters you provide will be used for all html page generated by
  linuxconf. This may be useful if you manage several Linux stations
  using a browser. By using different settings, you can differentiate
  them more easily. Here are some example you may want to try
