Hi,
Just new to Fedora and Redhat. I just install the minimal system without the graphical user interface.
I like to proaam/setup with text command's
What kind of commands are used in Fedora to configue the system and install pakages.
I know rpm, but is there a way to point and shoot in the textmode?

I like lynx for text based browsing. I think mc is great for ftp to hard disk transfers. A program called setup is also handy without a GUI. This is sort of an interface to starting services, setting up the firewall, etc.
For keeping your system patched and updated, yum, apt-get and up2date are good rpm management programs that work with rpm.
As stated in earlier postings running the below command should reveal which command line system-config tools are installed.
rpm -qa |grep system-config
This queries all installed rpms, then pipes the output to grep, which only outputs the desired rpm packages, filtering the other rpms out from displaying on the terminal.
This should show printer, mouse, etc configuration tools.
