Yes, "-5" is useful. When there are a considerable amount of config files to update, I go through and selectively merge the files I care about then use "-5" to merge the rest I don't care about. Doing it this way saves time and hassle. You don't have to choose a file, do "-1", answer yes and move on to the next for all the files you don't care about. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
