No. It needs to be in /etc because it's part of the base. The most correct solution is probably: /etc/defaults/mergemaster.conf (this opens the following two) /etc/mergemaster.conf /etc/mergemaster.conf.local Skipping the /etc/defaults file would probably be ok, but they are the trend and I think they are a very good idea. -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
