Usually you can tab through from field to field and press enter on the 'Next' button. Of course, if you can't, you're stuck. There's nothing you can do. On the other hand, in linux, you can read the man page and figure stuff out. But you better be prepared to do that. But certainly, saying it's easier to use rpm than it is to tab through a setup program in windows is an incredible oversimplification. If you're going to tell some non computer geek that it's easier to use rpm than setup, you're doing him a real disservice. You don't have to learn how to use setup. -- John G.
