The dialogue box allows you to inspect the old and new config files and see the 'differences' between them. If you have altered a config file from the original default, then you will probably want to use the old file which contains your edits, but you should look to see if any new features have been added in the new version you might want to copy over to the old one. In the case of cups. Your old cups config file has all the details of your printers in it. If you were to accept the new file you would have to go through the printer setup again which you obviously would rather not have to do. You will only see these dialogue boxes for a small number of packages. Cups and samba are probably the most critical ones. derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net
