That is what mergemaster does, it places everything you could ever need in a temporary root, diffs it against /etc, merges anything existing, tells you if there is a file that you do not have, you answer 'i' and it installs the default file. Despite the name, mergemaster is not only for merging, it's about the most handy tool I've ever come across for make worlds, makes updating configs a very easy task indeed. Doug definately deserves a few hundred pats on the back for that program. Matt -- Matt Heckaman [matt@arpa.mail.net|matt@relic.net] [Please do not send me] !Powered by FreeBSD/x86!
