After all, mergemaster is just piping the file through "more" (or less; not sure which). Mergemaster's already existing "-i" switch tells it to automatically install any files that don't already exist in the destination directory. To do as you suggest, though, and simply automatically install *everything* would defeat the whole purpose of mergemaster. There are occasions where, due to some new construct or whatever, a large number of files require updating (usually under /etc/rc.d). In that case, it often is easier to simply delete all the existing files under /etc/rc.d and then run mergemaster -i to automatically install the new versions. When such a need arises, it will usually be mentioned in /usr/src/UPDATING (you *do* read that before updating, don't you?). :-) HTH -- Conrad J.
