Hi, although re-installation in most cases might be suitable (and ensures that all computers will get the same software versions as long as the mirror is frozen), from time to time I have to do upgrades, in particular on solitary machines. If I only call "apt-get update; apt-get upgrade" almost no questions would be asked, and I'm afraid that configuration files that have been adjusted by a FAI script/* would also be silently overwritten. Is that true (or am I just paranoid)? How can I avoid overwriting config files changed by me without asking? How are others handling this situation?
