It needs to be a bit more automated IMO. It's a drag to have to go through long config files which have been customised just to see whether the upgrade has introduced any new settings which need to be merged. I'm sure there could be something like CVS does when two persons have edited a file - compare them to see if the edited bits are in the same area and if not, merge them automatically. > > Regs. > > Iain. > > > ________________________________ > > > > Ramon Casha > > Megabyte Ltd (www.megabyte.net) > > F4, The Technopark, Mosta MST02 Malta > > tel: (+356) 2142 1600 > > fax: (+356) 2142 1590 > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Keith Vasallo Sent: > > Il-Hamis, 11 ta' Awissu 2005 09:05 > > To: Malta Linux User Group - general list > > Subject: [LINUX.ORG.MT] Gentoo Installer > > > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > > Hash: SHA1 > > > > Guys, hell is starting to freeze over. > > > > After the incredible news that Debian Sarge was released as stable a few > > weeks ago, Gentoo Linux now has an installer!
