IM-02: How to Configure Mandrake/Where is the Control Panel?

 

Most configuration of your Mandrake Linux system can be done through the Mandrake Control Center.

This is a utility which is analogous to the Windows Control Panel. It is also sometimes referred to as MCC.

It is located in the Configuration section of the menu and it is usually also placed on the menu panel.

To start it, you click on it's entry in either of those places (menu or panel) and then enter the root password.

It is also possible to start it from the command line using the drakconf command.

To do this you would need to open up a terminal, or type in a console

su

and then the root password. Once you have done this you can then type

drakconf

press enter and you will be presented with the Mandrake Control Center.
