Its not *that* bad.  I can still remember when I had no idea what to do
with 
the pile of symbols it flew across the screen.  All you have to do is
write 
down or take note of any of the files in /etc that you have modified
from the 
defaults.  For every one of those, choose save for later.  For every
file 
you've never modified, or is new, just go ahead and install it, the new 
versions will be good for you.  :)

sure, that'll at least take care of all the new files for you.
