Configuration files that have been determined by RPM database to have been modified are saved with a .rpmsave extension. To get a list of configuration files associated with an installed package, run the command 'rpm -qc package_name'. As additional aside, when you are updating a package (i.e., rpm -U package_name), modified configuration files are given the .rpmorig or .rpmsave extension. You will then need to copy any important parts of those configuration files into the newly installed configuration file. One more thing: the -U (upgrade) and -F (freshen) are both upgrade options, except that Freshen will validate that the package does indeed exist already on the system. If the package doesn't exist, it will stop the installation process. -U will install as new if the package didn't already exist on the system. -- ---Bryen--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
