Some of these edits are not preserved after a shutdown and reboot.
I was wrong about xorg.conf.wacom. The file was in /etc/X11 of the finished system so it was only the package versions of resolve.conf and interfaces which were not overwritten. It was by studying the manual that I learned how to do this. I thought it said that the package configuration files would be overwritten after the package was installed. Apparently I was mistaken. In fact, the .bashrc file I put in /home/user was preserved but rather Sun Microsystems Setup added a section to the end of my file.
