I'm kinda new to FreeBSD and I am about to do the -RELEASE to -STABLE procedure. I'm a little confused as to what mergemaster does, and what I should do.. whether install the temp, or delete, or merge. As I understand it, if you have self-edited files in the /etc directory and you want to keep those changes, you dont install the temp file and leave it for later. However, if you havent self-edited a /etc file, its best to install it. Am I correct? What 'merge' does, I have no idea? Someone mind clarifying what mergemaster does, is it ok to skip the process? michael To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
