Re: [gentoo-user] Update question

Hi Donnie,

Thanks for your advice.

_ snip_
 

2) How to update ALL configuration files collectively/simultaneously 
afterwords?
   

Run etc-update. Type the number of each file that shows up, and merge.
If you _know_ you have never edited any of the files left on the list,
you may choose to use the '-5' option.
 

I am not very clear of what the advice indicated ".... then update ALL 
of your configuration files'.  Whether they meant the config files of 
all packages running on Gentoo 1.4 or only 'portage'  Some of those 
config files have been edited otherwise the packages can't run 
properly.  What is '-5' option?

Thanks

B.R.
Stephen
