You provoked a bit of a debate (smile), but in case it's still not clear, I've long used Etc-update with Gvim as defined in /etc/etc-update.conf : # pager for use with diff commands (see NOTE_2) # pager="less" pager="" # diff_command="vim -d %file1 %file2" # diff_command="diff -uN %file1 %file2" # using_editor=0 diff_command="gvim -d %file1 %file2" using_editor=1 # vim-users: don't use vimdiff for merging (see NOTE_1) merge_command="sdiff -s -o %merged %orig %new" Even if you're not normally a Vim user, this shows the diffs very clearly & allows you to copy your personal changes from old to new versions. Generally, always go through all the etc-updates & keep back-ups of /etc . -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
