| 1 | 90% of the time I've broken a Gentoo install has involved etc-update and |
| 2 | admittedly myself doing something stupid. |
| 3 | I've since developed the habit of tarring the /etc directory before running |
| 4 | update. |
| 5 | So I was thinking it would be nice to have a -B option for etc-update which |
| 6 | creates /somewhere/logical/etc.tar.gz before running etc-update. |
| 7 | Of course this wouldn't be complete without a --restore option which |
| 8 | overwrites the existing /etc with the last created etc.tar.gz thus giving us |
| 9 | goofs a unlimited amount of chances to get it right. |

| 11 | Any thoughts? |
