freebsd stable - Apr 2003 - What do you think of mergemaster -i option ?

Yeah, I don't have luck with mergemaster, may be after another 100 times
I run it I will educate myself to properly use it.

So, would '-i' option help me to automate the process?

Best Regards, Anton

Its not *that* bad.  I can still remember when I had no idea what to do with 
the pile of symbols it flew across the screen.  All you have to do is write 
down or take note of any of the files in /etc that you have modified from the 
defaults.  For every one of those, choose save for later.  For every file 
you've never modified, or is new, just go ahead and install it, the new 
versions will be good for you.  :)

sure, that'll at least take care of all the new files for you.

What kind of problems do you have with it? Have you read the man page? Is
there anything in the man page you find confusing?

I recommend this, yes.
