I know how etc-update works (I used Gentoo for a year). Upon emerging *some* packages it prompts the user to view changes to important files (fstab being one). If the user chooses the worng config file his system is hosed until he modifies the offending file.
<br><br>I got tired of pouring over intimate details of every single /etc file (and paying for it when I chose the wrong options). It's that simple, I punted Gentoo because of etc-update. No FUD.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">

<br>Actually, it's the other way around - you have to try hard to have<br>etc-update hose your system.<br></blockquote></div>
