Forgot when the change was made from /etc/sysconfig to rc.conf. But if you
don't have rc.conf on your prior version, use sysconfig to glean the
critical information.

IMHO: a complete backup is even better than a backup of /etc. Even better: 
its as good excuse as any to buy a new HD. Install clean on the new HD. 
Then move your old precious stuff over from the untouched HD.
