I use dispatch-conf all the time. I too have never looked back.
I use diff="vimdiff -R %s %s" in /etc/dispatch-conf.conf NOT SURE WHAT '-R' IS now though. Perhaps it should not be there. Then I add the following line to my .vimrc, which allows me to press F2 to exit the vimdiff windows in one shot. map <F2> <Esc>:q<CR><Esc>:q<CR> The old config shows up on the left, and the new config shows up on the right. Press Ctrl-W and the left or right arrow key to switch between window buffers. What I usually do, if there are additions to the new config that I want, is copy them from the right window, paste them in the left window, and save the left window. Then, I hit F2, then 'z' for zap, and my old config has the new settings that it needs. If you don't like vim, then you might not like vimdiff. On 10/13/06, Erik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I much prefer dispatch-conf. I just find it easier to use. I find etc-update a touch crude in the way it takes input.
