Correct. I can remember when it used to try to overwrite fstab every time, well, it seemed like it anyway. It doesn't do that anymore though. It puts the new file there but the one we, the person in the chair, changed does not get touched until you run etc-update and tell it to change it. Careful with that -5 option. Sounds like some are not using etc-update correctly. Dale :-) :-) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
