-iU is your friend. Only painful if you have custom rc.d files that depend on functionality in other rc.d files. -i => install files that do not exist yet -U => upgrade files that you have not modified It's a blessing and reduces much of mergemaster's operator attention. -- Mel _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
