There are several ways to achieve the desired result,<BR> each of them seeming not so hard to do:<BR> 1/ postpone all the choices about config files to the end of the upgrade<BR> 2/ provide a flag --keep ==> keep the user's file, and create xx.conf-new<BR> 3/ provide a flag --replace ==> move the user's file to xx.conf-old<BR> and put in place the new file.<BR> in cases 2 and 3, the user can very easily, after the upgrade,<BR> review all config files, and do what he/she wants.<BR></FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr><FONT size=2>Is there any list of conf-new / conf-old files (or a script to detect them) related to a new installation ?. This would be interesting to backup.</FONT></DIV>
