Thanks to everyone who helped me get my system back after a couple of |
2 |
world update snafus. Now of course I'm a little gun-shy about using |
3 |
options like emerge --update world. So what's my best bet to keep my |
4 |
system up to date, while protecting it from my own lack of |
5 |
understanding of updating config files? |
6 |
|
7 |
Here's what I'm intending to do so far: |
8 |
|
9 |
1. Prior to running any large system update, back up /etc to another location |
10 |
2. use dispatch-conf instead of etc-update |
11 |
|
12 |
Can anyone make any other suggestions? Which emerge options are best |
13 |
for full system updates? Thanks |
