To compare the the new /etc (12.2) with the old /etc(12.1) run:
Code:
# run in "old" /etc
for f in *;
do diff "$f" /mnt/slack12.2/etc/"$f" > ~/"$f".diffs 2>&1;
done
This will also dive into the subdirectories and produce for a report for each one. You can then run a similar script in each subdirectory if you see a need.
Reports are sent to root's home directory, each named with the file name and a suffix "diff".
To delete the zero reports for files that haven't changed, run
Code:
find . -size 0b -exec rm {} \;
against the "diffs" files in roots home directory.
Zero reports for subdirectories unfortunately don't have zero bytes because they write a confirmation that the directories are the same.
Thanks pkzj, that really does make installation
even easier. Thanks too to Janux_NET for getting the ball rolling.
