After a while, it gets old telling etc-update after each emerge update that no, I do *NOT* want to change...- my clocktime setting from "local" to "UTC" - my console font from "lat0-10" (48 rows with vga=2) to "default8x16" (30 rows with vga=2). - the hostnames of *BOTH* my Gentoo machines to "localhost" (try ssh with *THAT* setup!?!?). Is there a way to get etc-update ignore those items?
You could try dispatch-conf (see manpage) or emerge conf-update. Unfortunately, etc-update has many known bugs. The problem you mentioned sounds like bug 26807. Zac -- [email protected] mailing list
