No, I just used it sort of blindly and in many cases choose to `e' |
| 15 |
edit the new file, where upon I'd read the old file into the new and |
| 16 |
take what looked like it needed to be taken into the new file. Then |
| 17 |
save exit and chose `u' (use new). |

So I guess the result should have been a very manual merging. There |
| 20 |
were some 128 new conf files. The vast majority I just accepted as is |
| 21 |
since I'd not done any conf changes on most of them. |

I was under the conception that the archiving mechanism did a backup |
| 24 |
of all of etc but apparently that is not the case. |
