Joe, in this case freedom has little to do with fact that some postinstall script can't change your configuration file automatically as it is not designed to cover all possible variations, and it is missing interactive part that will ask you what to do. It is just a way to skip creation of bloated postinstall scripts, or change your working configuration with some default settings, forcing you to go trough configuration again. The former can really make you angry, if last configuration was result of a lot of manual tweaking and you don't have backup. YaST has interactive configurations, so after asking you questions it will create new config file and you will see your old file as foo.config.YaST2save. The foo.config.rpmnew and foo.config.rpmsave exist for some packages and in some situations. -- Regards, Rajko. http://en.opensuse.org/Portal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
