For those interested, there's a great gui replacement script for etc-update on the Gentoo forum by xentric (with screenshots). He helped me tremendously getting it working, as my system was severely misconfigured, and I had problems. He has updated it with some things we discovered which will insure that users will avoid the pitfalls I ran into. (In the process, I also corrected serious problems with my Gentoo installation).
