I've always felt that fstab, along with a couple of others, should not be |
| 11 |
in baselayout, since it should never be "upgraded". There was a patch for |
| 12 |
dispatch-conf that allowed you to "freeze" some files so it would never |
| 13 |
even offer to update them, but it hasn't been updated for nearly two |
| 14 |
years and doesn't work with more recent versions. |
