Then, do a diff on each pair of files to see the changes. See 'man diff' I created a directory /etc.old and used tar to copy the files from /etc into /etc/old. For example, 'diff /etc/file1 /etc.old/file1' will show the changes necessary to chamge /etc/file into /etc.old/file1. Create a couple of small files with minor differences, like a spelling on line 1 and a missing line 3. Then run diff and see the output.
