New configuration files have the extension ".new" (for example
rc.S.new), so nothing will be overwritten.
You can search for them with
find / -name "*.new".

6. Fix your config files. Some of the config files in /etc are going to

your system with the ".new" extension. You may need to fill these in
with information from your old config files and then move them over.
