I also do not know how to proceeed? a) i use "midnight commander" to compare, (or edit, ore copy, or move), but if you have never used mc, or norton commander, or similar, "maybe" the other tools are better (meld tkdiff) (i do not know them) at least you need a texteditor to be able to read and modify text files.
You first need to determine if there are changes, what they are and what their significance is. I think that a split screen approach is unreliable, it is too easy for the yes to overlook something. I use the 'diff' program, firstly to see any and all changes. line by line, byte by byte comparison. Perhaps you want to ignore blanks space :-) It catches what the eye might miss. There is an option to display the changes side by side, which i find useful, see the changes in context. Of course if the changes are dramatic, of you've heavily edited your original config file so there are lots of conflicts with an update based on that original, then this may seem overwhelming. But then so will the dual pane editor. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
