Seems to me that's a good place for it if it exists. Instead of using upgrade tool that come with sysinstall, which claims to be not the most reliable of things, I unpacked bin and ssys by hand. This worked just fine for 2.0.5 to 2.1.0. This time someone thought it'd be a great idea to put /etc in one of those distributions. It was quite the rude awakening to reboot and see "myname.my.domain". No warning, no nothing. I realize that some of the new utils might need more or different support from stuff in etc, but how about a warning or something at least? I (quite foolishly, apparently) expected all the /etc files to be in the distribution set called etc. Well, I have my day's activities clearly lined out, time to get to work. Chad.
