I hesitate whether to proceed UPDATE as recommended if all config files will be rewritten. Not only adding extra work, but the difficulty to me is I am new to Gentoo only having it running for one (1) day. I am inexperienced to re-fix them back if Gentoo can't run properly afterwords.
Have you edited any files in /etc ?? The ones that will possibly get updated you probably haven't touched. It won't overwrite files like /etc/resolv.conf or /etc/hostname. It will often want to replace /etc/make.conf, for example.
Yes. I have edited files under /etc/ such as make.conf
Again, when you run etc-update, it will *LIST* all of the files it wants to update. You could probably 'cat' that list to a file too.
Can I deselect some of the files LISTED?
Thanks
