Not to have hunt around in config files to rescue all your settings - cfg-update takes care of it - and it does that very well. I haven't had a butchered config since I started cfg-update a long time ago. It sometimes asks when the changes are too big. I like that.

Can anyone say what tools are currently available. dispatch-conf works. May want to try them all and pick the one you like. I like etc-update as far as the update process. I like this one because it keeps backups of the old config files. It's like the cereal aisle, your choice. Dale :-) :-) A cool thing with dispatch-conf: emerge colordiff and change in /etc/dispatch-conf.conf the diff=diff ... to diff=colordiff You also can change the mergening command to anything you like more e.g. gui merging tools signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
