rc.conf has changed, as has /etc/arno-iptables-firewall/ ... and no doubt others. What I do is this. I copy up the new image. The I do: mkdir /tmp/new mount -o loop,ro /oldroot/cdrom/os.new/astlinux-trunk-XXXX.run /tmp/new diff -ur /stat /tmp/new/stat and make note of the changes... Files that I've not modified, I can just copy over... files that I have modified, I get diffs of, and try to apply a patch... otherwise, the rejected patch hunks I end up editing by hand. -Philip ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ Astlinux-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/astlinux-users Donations to support AstLinux are graciously accepted via PayPal to [email protected].
