However, when I ran mergemaster, I must have done something wrong, and I kept getting error messages about "daemon class not found," and "default class not found." I wasn't too happy about this, so I did an "rm -rf /etc" and restored the backup copy I made. Everything seems to work fine now, with the original /etc directory from 4.4-RELEASE. Do I really have to run mergemaster? Are there any files that MUST be updated in the /etc directory? I do not want to screw up this box. :-) Also, how do I get rid of those annoying "hints" that show up when I log in? Where is the hints program launching from?
