the point of the command was to keep the php.dist files so if you screw
up the editing, you still had the original config files to start over
with.

you could manually type
cp conf.php.dist conf.php
cp hooks.php.dist hooks.php
cp html.php.dist html.php
etc.

or if you are using a bash compatible shell...
for foo in *.dist; do cp $foo `basename $foo .dist`; done

will do this for you in one line.

consider...

cd /var/www/html/horde/config
for foo in *.dist; do cp $foo `basename $foo .dist`; done
cd ../imp/config
for foo in *.dist; do cp $foo `basename $foo .dist`; done
cd ../turba/config
for foo in *.dist; do cp $foo `basename $foo .dist`; done
cd ../kronolith/config
for foo in *.dist; do cp $foo `basename $foo .dist`; done

now, all you have to do is edit the specific *.php files in each config
folder as horde configuration isn't zen like...yet.
