Oh, right. Now I recall later RHL or early FC releases had a "Start Here" icon on the desktop. Opening it opened a window with the system-config-* menu entries. There was a corresponding menu entry that would open the same window.
I guess Rahul has explained where it went and what its possible future is.
Apparently, I'm not the only one who misunderstood what you were looking for, though.
Actually, Matthew, you're still not getting the right item. I have it right here on my desktop, recommended to me by Rahul many months ago. It's a single click menu-item, "System Control Center" it's called in the version I've got. It does just what Ric has been describing - it doesn't open a window with menu entries. It opens a GUI with icons and tabs; each tab window has a subset of buttons with icons and text for each of the system-config utilities you have installed. I thought it was broken on this box but it turns out it's not - I have it open here as I'm typing. The seven tabs are labelled 'Software' 'Hardware' 'System' 'Network' 'Server' 'Securities and Users' and 'Misc' - there are a total of 31 buttons on the various tab pages corresponding to the system-config and some other utilities installed on my system - clicking on a button opens a separate GUI corresponding to the function you selected.
Had the same thing in FC5; only one sudo required for all; had a four leaf clover icon kindda; really liked it when working on admin, set ups, and configs. Went looking for it FC6 but it wasn't there.
