*GREAT* point I felt should see another go to help highlight for fellow users who haven't discovered dot d (.d) directories yet. Just made the connection myself couple weeks ago via /etc/grub.d. Our dot d directories are a place where necessary personalizations remain static for programs that reset configurations on a regular basis. On another thread, someone mentioned they create a backup, if not an entirely separate place, for their own /etc directory because of its importance to them. Excellent place to focus a piece of self-training on with respect to preserving the kinds of tweaks such as is being discussed here.. PS Apologies in advance if this shows up twice. Had a dialup glitch JUST as it was sending but not seeing it posted yet.
