Thank you for the reply. I should have mentionned that I already have
used mergemaster to update my /etc, /dev and /root directories
succesfully. All I really want to make sure of is that there are no
obsolte files there. The dircmp.pl script is a good start since it will
spot if a file is in /etc but not in the newer source, but I don't think
I can rely on it for an authoritative answer.

I guess I could always take a look at a freshly installed 3.1 system to
spot differences.

Thanks again.
