There is usually six ways to do anything in linux. Including manually with vi if your into pain and extensive searching.
Which is worse: searching text files, or searching menus?
Searching for the text files. Fortunately the main ones fstab , xorg.conf are well known. The rest are not as important in that they relate to specific programs. Most config files are handled by their respective programs and you do not need to hack. But these two I mention have at times much need of hacking. I have legacy dos programs and the automatic install does not recognize the partitions correctly. Xorg Conf needs special hacking for my mouse with a trackball middle button for horizontal and vertical scrolling. So start with these two config files and learn the basics of reading them. You can leave the rest for later. -- _______ _______ _______ __ / ____\ \ / / ____|_ _\ \ / / | | \ \ /\ / / (___ | | \ \ / / | | \ \/ \/ / \___ \ | | \ \/ / | |____ \ /\ / ____) |_| |_ \ / \_____| \/ \/ |_____/|_____| \/ | \ /|\ || |\ / |~~\ /~~\ /~~| //~~\ | \ / | \ || | X |__/| || |( `--. |__ | | \| \_/ / \ | \ \__/ \__| \\__/
