Hello, following up from the multiple recent thread regarding best way to upgrade the system and etcmanage, I wonder if a quicker and better solution could be the following:
1) Insert installation cd/usb and boot 2) mount the installed system and mv /etc to /etc.old 3) Upgrade all sets, including etc 4) Copy/restore individual files from /etc.old if/when needed Alternatively, I remember (but memory may fail) that old Slackware versions came with a script to rename all copies of /etc files with a .new suffix. Maybe one could write a script to detect if a file exists, and if so, install a new file with a .new extension. I am not sure if etcmanage already does that. Thanks -- Ottavio
