Anything that gets overwritten during the normal install process is already taken care of. We're just trying to get rid of files which are not installed by 'make installword' but used to be once. I.e., if a file is not installed by 'make installworld' then by definition it's not required for a correctly functioning system. -Archie __________________________________________________________________________ Archie Cobbs * Packet Design * http://www.packetdesign.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
