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. :) > So, would '-i' option help me to automate the process? sure, that'll at least take care of all the new files for you.
