Etc-update always wants to replace files that are different from the standard files (baseline files). The secret is to remember which files you changed and not let it replace them. So, if you want your alsa to keep working do not let it modify your already-modified files. Also watch out for it to want to change /etc/fstab, this is a quite common rookie mistake.
Good Luck,

My first 'update world' seems to have complete sucessfully, having
overcome the mozilla sensitifity to environment settings and the mysterious
file size discrepency of my RealPlayer-10.0.3.748-20050223.i586.rpm
file...
That just left the protected directory file updates, all of which
seemed straight forward except for an update that was provided
for /etc/modules.d/alsa as follows:
diff alsa ._cfg0000_alsa
17d16
< alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
21d19
< alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
It looks to me like that would just remove my customization for
the local hardware, which I would expect would have stopped my
sound card from working....
Or has there been some change that makes that configuration
information obsolete?
Is it safe/wise to decide to discard one of the update files
like this?
