Not in the way that causes the problems, of -5ing everything. When i used etc-update, I wuld go through the list, accepting some changes and rejecting others, then -5 the remainder, which were often example configs. That's not the same as -5ing everything, which is what I was referring to and the easy way to toast /etc/fstab. -- Neil Bothwick "I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate.
