There is a command: etc-update it will run through it for you. There are several options you can select while running it. Like automerge, ask for confermation to delete old file,....
I only watch out for stuff that I edit. Like /etc/group , /etc/make.conf ,... Other stuff usually just let it merge them. The stuff I watch out for I either don't let it do it, select to show the differences and make them myself, or if the differences are minor then let it do it. Till you get use to it I would not delete the old file. Decibels On Wednesday 28 May 2003 05:02 pm, Mark Knecht wrote: > Hi, > Trying to do this right.
