I'll comment here seeing as it's not documented. When you ran etc-update the first time, you would have seen something to the effect of "merging minor changes in ..." Minor changes means, as far as I know, changes to the two or three copyright comment lines at the beginning of a stock-standard config file and perhaps even other comments within the file. I'm not certain on what "minor changes" covers. If there is something to do, etc-update will present you with a list of files that need updating and then provide a primitive interface to edit each one. Each person has there own way of actually editing the files, so I won't go into that. It suffices to say that etc-update will present the current file's path and the new files path which will be in the form /path/to/file/._cfg00xx<filename>. - -- Regards, Jason Stubbs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFACRrFosKAszmcBv4RAhYXAJ4y4gE4jNJI8CHFMmxOsLrziPArJgCcCZEv e5jTkD97MVLKkcAY0VbbySU= =0d/z -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
