I'm not blind, but I have to agree with this. As I understand it, GUIs are
hard to adapt to blind usage, whereas console apps are much simpler. Seems
a pretty simple thing to have linuxconf do this too. I hate being forced
to use a GUI to do something that could be handled just as well by a
console app.
