I'm suppose to grab the /etc/ files from release 4.4 and then do a comparison between thoes files just downloaded from the source tree to what i got on my system. Then incorporate any changes into the files that i downloaded. Thus, for every file that's in the /etc/ dir that i get from the source tree i have to put in the changes from file particular to my os. so, if this is true, i only have to do it for certain files? Do you know which files (in my /etc/ dir) that have info particular to my system, so that i can just put info from thoes file into the files that i download from the source tree?
