I'm having a problem, and it's becuase I don't fully understand linux I'm sure. I'm a newbie, obviously.

What I did was installed Linuxconf on my Linux box under Root. When I log in as cmiller, for instence, and try to access Linuxconf, it doesn't work. Do I have to reinstall it? Doesn't that just take up double the disk space, for nothing? I'm confused :confused:...

Nope .... most of the programs that alter your configuration (like linuxconf) require you to be root to run them.
Just su to root and run the proggie as root (in a shell, type su and enter the root password [enter], followed by 'linuxconf').

This is the neat thing about Linux ..... only root can mess up the system, not regular users like in Windows .....

Cheers :)
