But in fact I've never had any problem using dot files in my /home directory from previous installations. I just looked at these files, and the only rpmnew version seems to be of bash_logout, which is strange since I certainly never changed that. I definitely don't want to spend hours combing through .bash_profile and .bash_rc, etc, every time I upgrade. To me this would be a bit like going through my wallet every time I change my jacket. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
