Again, I urge people to check out the cfg-update script that opens the great full-featured xxdiff program as a replacement for etc-update. Really newbie friendly! Find it on the Gentoo forums under the Docs, tricks, tips forum.(post has great screen shots) Once set up, you just type cfg-update -i instead of etc-update after emerging if you need to. http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=86622 Robert Crawford -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
