[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi people, Some years back I read in my literature class a situation that can be termed a 'little failing' - not a total failure but in actual sense it is a real failure. Now I am back, with a failure after margemaster. I always try my best to let mergemaster be verbose but even with all that noise I seem to miss something and that is what I beg to ask the gurus about. o If I tell mergemaster to merge the 2 files (installed one and the temp one), what is the aggregate effect as far as mu customizations in the installed version are concerned? o When I take a look at the diffs and feel that I just don't want to install the file in the temporary dir I'd chose 'm' and I'd be dropped to a % : What am I supposed to do at that prompt? o Would it be okay for me to just install everything from the temp dir (aka mergemaster 'blindmode' then start painfully modifying the files to put back my customizations while still in single user mode? It sure wastes productive time but seems to be the soundest way if someone does not tell me a better way. I just did a mergemaster and ended up seeing an error like: source_rc_confs : not found The box would read my rc.conf and probably many other rc.* Which file results into this situation? What is the better option for mergemaster - the monster of all UPDATES (to me, that is) ;-) TIA -Wash -- Odhiambo Washington Inter-Connect Ltd., wash@iconnect.co.ke 5th Flr Furaha Plaza Tel: 254 11 222604 Nkrumah Rd., Fax: 254 11 222636 PO Box 83613 MOMBASA, KE.
