The problem is the right use of mergemaster. I have see around this list that some of you use other techniques of find diffs and install, merge or do nothing about /etc files. For the first time I use mergemaster and I do a lot of wrong things, and the system stopted. But, I have a backup of /etc and now everything is working even with the old /etc files. What I like to know is what are the best way to use mergemaster (or other thing else) without puting in risk some important files but be updated? What I looking for is something like make buildworld, installworld, buildkernel, installkernel, etc..., because them doens't ask anything to the user but mergemaster do and if we do anything wrong, then the system maybe stops. Thanks very much. Now I am a STABLE guy! Bye, - -- Nuno Teixeira Dir.
