notes Linuxconf will start in either character-cell or X mode, depending on your DISPLAY environment
variable. The first time you run Linuxconf, an introductory message will be shown; although
it is only displayed once, accessing help from the main screen will give you the same basic
information.
Linuxconf includes some context-specific help. For information on any specific aspect of
Linuxconf, select Help from the screen you’d like help with.

Note Not all help screens are complete at this time; as help screens are updated, they
will be included in subsequent versions of Linuxconf.

Adding a user is one of the most basic tasks you will encounter in administering your system.
To add a user:

Open Config => Users accounts => Normal => User accounts. Linuxconf may show you a filter
screen.

You can use the filter screen to select a smaller range of accounts than the full list. To get the
full list, select Accept without changing any of the parameters. For detailed information on
the various filters, select the Help button on the Filter control screen. Once you’ve applied or
bypassed the filter, you’ll see the Users accounts tab.
You can control the filter using Control => Features. You’ll see the Features tab, which allows you
to set the Trigger for filter parameter, as shown in Figure 4.14.
