And it actually looks more detailed than what's in the rc.conf files. :) It also means flipping windows. While for 'experts' and those of us who've been using this a few years, yes, it's doable or even second nature. It also means cut-and-paste, which is not as easy as simply replacing the text. > > As I said, my suggestion also makes it quite obvious that the defaults are > > just that. > > Except that in practice your suggestion would result in many users breaking > their systems.

Yes, I can see that. *scratches his head* When you remove win.ini, on teh other hand, you get better performance... Sorry, i just don't buy that. If you remove files in /etc, or /boot, or /usr/local/etc, you break things. I can see the point in redundancy on rc.conf, but it just leaves me feeling a bit quesy to think about this argument. > > j.
