I agree. > The only files that I'm familiar with are the ones that I > touched durning the initial install. I guess that might be an answer. If etc-update can check (md5, or otherwise) that the file has not been changed since the last update, it can suggest to update all those files in one go. That will leave you with just the files that might require human judgement. I can't think of an example where you would not want to update a configuration file that you did not change yourself.
