Jean-Michel It almost sounds like something along the lines of what is done with pcmcia is needed. In that you have the stock config file and you can add your own custom config files that override the default (or augment) So when the user customizes their setup the file say user.conf (or any name you care to give it) is created. Now this file is never included in the rpm and only generated and or read if it is there or the user does do some kind of creation. (God I hope I'm being clear here.) Then anytime you upgrade the stock conf gets overwritten but the users custom one doesn't.... James >
