Well, I make backups of etc anyway. I just copy it to old-etc and keep |
| 32 |
it lying around. I ran into a blank inittab once and even dispatch-conf |
| 33 |
wouldn't have saved me there. I don't think it was a update, just got |
| 34 |
erased somehow. I'm not sure how that happened either cause I don't |
| 35 |
even look at that one. I just recognized what it was doing and that it |
| 36 |
was blank. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
I also seem to recall that dispatch-conf didn't keep back-ups on mine. |
| 39 |
I had the directory but it was always empty even after a lot of |
| 40 |
updates. You know of any reason for that? |
