Similarily, for every other config such as say, if i wan't to create an Xorg.conf file for the user, then lets say if i wan't the user to input his monitor's Vertical and Horizontal Refresh rates.

echo 'Enter Vertical Refresh Rate'
read $vrate
cat "VertRefresh=$vrate" > /etc/X11/xorg.conf

But how many scripts can i write? There are a hell a lot of config files to edit. Also Hardware Auto Detection is also a big problem.

Also how to configure the kernel for all the generic type of Hardwares? Wouldn't it become bulky?

Do distro configure the kernel based on each users hardware??

Also how about using Webmin as a system administration tool? It's easy and it directly edits the configuration files..

Thanks for the encouragement and inputs!!
