So I change the defaults to suit my needs by dropping a file to /etc. Months later, the defaults change again. How do I see what are the new defaults, how do I notice that I have to change the file in /etc again? Because now I simply do: meld /etc/configfile /etc/configfile.rpmnew and instantly I see what is new and I can decide to use it or not, entry by entry. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
